Description

A very player friendly 2020 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul VOS with just the right mods. A reprofile of the neck's shoulders, and its discreet refinish, has given it a comfortable shape that allows the thumb to not be as burdened by the typical '58 roundness. This burst hosts Wolfetone pickups that lean classic PAF in the neck and bring out the raunchiness in the bridge position. Chicago Music Exchange (CME) hand selected the top of this one; and as an exclusive, even by custom shop standards, it was around $5.5k new. Don't miss the chance to get this one at a player friendly price and hit the stage with it!

Comes with Lifton HSC

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
