2001 Gibson Les Paul Standard/Deluxe Black, Excellent, Hard, $2,299.00

Moe's Guitars, Our philosophy: If we wouldn't play it, we wouldn't sell it; it's that simple.

If you know the time line of similar Gibson Les Paul's It all started with the 56" Gold Top. In the late 70's it bacme the Les Paul Pro. Moving to the early 90's Gibson took that platform and turn out the 40th Anniversary Les Paul, only with Gold Hardware and a Ebony fretboard. Fast forward to 2001 The Les Paul Standard/Deluxe.

This one came in from its original owner and is in better condition than most new instruments hanging on the walls of Big Box Stores. The person that assembled this one at Gibson took their job and craft seriously.
