I know I'm new on this site. You can see my feedback as "Cossack" at the Gear Page, as "Rattlehead" on ebay, and "Montana Cactus and Guitar Shop" on Reverb (these guitars are also for sale on Reverb if you're more comfortable doing a transaction there).
Please ask any questions or ask for any other photos you'd like to see. I'll be happy to provide them.
I'd be interested in a trade or partial trade for a Flying V, '70s Stratocaster (original, AVRI, ST72, or similar), Tokai Silver Star, or perhaps an Explorer
2009 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro
Finish wear on the back of the neck. It's nice and smooth in those spots and feels great. Frets are in great shape - see photos. Low action with no buzzing. Slim '60s neck feels great and fast.
Some dings on the top - see photos. Headstock edges have some wear - see photos. back top coat has a lot of wear, but it hasn't gone all through the finish - again, see photos.
Neck pickup is a Dimarzio PAF 36th Anniversary and the Bridge is a '70s vintage Dimarzio Dual Sound (Coil-splitable Super Distortion - basically the same as modern DP100). Both pickups are wired to push-pull pots (which are stock on this model) for coil-splitting.
Includes a well-worn but functional TKL hard case. These guitars came with TKL cases, but this one is not marked "Gibson," and I don't believe it came with the guitar. It has "gratitude" stencil painted on - see photo.
All in all this is a fantastic instrument and a good hard-working Les Paul - it plays great, sounds great, and looks great.
$1275
Add $100 shipping and insurance in continental USA.
Add $30 if using PayPal to offset the fee. I will also take USPS Money Orders. Contact me if you want to pay another way or discuss shipping elsewhere. If you're in Southwest Montana or reasonably close I'm happy to discuss meeting in-person. Please ask all questions prior to committing to buy. Both guitars will be for sale on other sites and locally.

1.2021 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue. Black with aged nickel hardware. I got this used, but it appears to have been a "Made-to-Measure" order - I have found a few others in the close serial number range to this that also have the uncovered pickups, gold speed knobs, cream rings, and aged nickel hardware. With that in mind I believe this is unmodified, although perhaps the poker chip was swapped out for cream. Here are some links to others like it: M2M 2021 LP 68 Custom old ad, Reverb 2021 68 Custom M2M, Another old ad, Youtube video of similar M2m 68 Custom from 2021
Nice medium neck. Not too slim, not too fat. Goldilocks would like it. Weighs 9 lbs, 2 oz. Pickups appear to be Custom Buckers - see photos (added to the "close ups" link below). Bridge measures about 7.8K Ohms and the Neck just a little less.
Vg-Excellent Condition. Very few minor scratches on the top. Very mild worming impression on back. Very small finish chip at the edge of the electronics panel on back. See photos.
Some finish rubbed off at the tip of the back of the headstock, right in the middle, and there's a ding on the tip of the headstock, top side. See the last 2 photos of the "Close ups" photo link.
No breaks or repairs.
Includes OHSC in Excellent condition. A few white scuff marks on the outside. Includes Certificate of Authenticity and some other case candy.
$4000 $3600 SOLD
2.1977 LP Custom in Good condition. Plenty of scratches and dings, but no breaks or repairs. Pickups are 490r/498t. Non-Original Case. Weighs 10 lbs, 15.7 oz.
The bridge pickup ring is broken through in one place. See photo in the last link. It still works fine.
$3600 $3399 SOLD
