Epiphone Les Paul

Up for grabs is this Awesome Gold Sparkle Epiphone Gibson Les Paul Standard with very unique Gold Hardware and a Seymour Duncan pickup in the bridge position . This guitar is very pretty and has great action and intonation. It plays nice and sounds excellent! The gold sparkle finish is in pretty good shape with a few dings below the bridge. This one has been modded with the following custom gold hardware:

gold tune-o-matic bridge

gold tail piece and studs

gold pickup covers

gold pick up rings

gold jack plate

gold (brass) nut

I have never seen another one like this. These guitars usually have nickle or silver colored parts and they don't have the dramatic look. It also came with a Seymour Duncan Pickup in the bridge and it sounds remarkable! This instrument could be used for recording and/or performing as the strings stay in tune and the intonation is pretty dead on. Please check out the video below, (YouTube link). This Video I just made yesterday (12-2-2011) and this is the guitar you are bidding on. 

Please view the pictures and ask all the questions you want before bidding. I hate selling this ax because it is beautiful, it plays easy, sounds good and is a one of a kind glam head turner. This is NOT a fake, copy or replica. No HS case but I will include a nice padded soft guitar bag and will be shipped safe to you.

THIS COULD BE A REALLY NICE CHRITMAS PRESENT!

 (It WILL be at your location before December 23, 2011!!!!)

Okay you wonder...I  am selling because I have just a few too many guitars, (Yeah SURE!). Times are tough, baby needs shoes, kids in college.....dog ate homework etc...TRUTH>>>(I need money more than another cool guitar!!!!).

I am NOT a “pawnshop“, I am NOT an “unwanted stuff warehouse”, I am NOT a "stolen property fence”, I am NOT a "stop and drop your broken stuff and have someone else sell it 4 U so no one can hold you accountable when they find out it is worthless” shop. I am NOT selling this "for a friend" so I can claim I know nothing about it. I AM a musician that has suffered from GAS, (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), which is not always a bad thing. The items I sell are items that I have personally owned and never used or lightly used. If there are any issues that I am aware of with the gear I sell, I will point them out in my listing. Please view my feedback as I try to always be fair with prices and shipping and handling charges. Shipping insurance costs are a big part of the shipping and handling charges but I will not risk an unhappy winning bidder because of some UPS, FedEx or USPS mishap.

U.S. Bids ONLY!!!

I will be happy to send some more detailed pictures if you want but you have to send me an Email address to send them to.

This Gibson/Epiphone is used and plays great and is in good condition but must be sold "as is" due to EVIL "parts swappers".

USA Bids only please.

Reservation is made to end the auction early due to local sales. Local Pick up okay after Paypal payment is made and by appointment.

The winning bidder pays a flat $40.00 for shipping...and that includes insurance,

(lower 48 USA).

Before bidding please read my fine print! Please don't sweat the small stuff...(I just have to put this stuff here for the 1% that can't seem to participate or win an auction without confusion and grief)

That said, the Guitar up for grabs is being sold as is with no refunds, returns or exchanges. Here is my fine print........

Serious U. S. adult buyers only! Hawaiian or Alaskan bidders please contact me prior to bidding regarding shipping. If you have “0” feedback or excessive negative feedback, please contact me for the green light before bidding! No exceptions! Please do not send me lowball offers, or ask “what would I take to end the auction now”. Please do not send me trade offers. If you do not intend to buy, do not bid. Please understand what it is you are buying, and ask all questions prior to bidding! All sales are final, I am sorry but it is far too risky to be shipping expensive gear all over the country risking freight damage - so no tire kickers or EVIL "parts swappers". Paypal payment with verified address is the only accepted form of payment for quick shipment to you. Please only use PayPal if you have a verified confirmed address (NO P.O. BOXES). If the winning bidder cannot pay within 24 hours of the end of this auction then please contact me within 24 hours of auctions end. Payment must be received within 48 hours. This auction only includes what is described in the listing and not all the other stuff in some of the pictures.

I pack my items VERY well. That said, I will require and include insurance on all items for their full value (cost is included in the S&H charge). Any insurance claims are the sole responsibility of the buyer. I cannot be held responsible for the mishandling of the postal service or freight carriers. Please be sure to keep all packing materials until you are satisfied the product shipped properly.  I do not send second chance offers. Bid with confidence, I have great feedback and plan to keep it that way. Thank you very much for your understanding and consideration! Did I mention U.S. bidders only?
