Featured in a recent Mythos Pedals Mod video. This 2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded has been completely overhauled by Zach here at HVG. Zach changed all the plastics to our replica parts, the Nashville bridge was swapped to a ABR-1 with conversion posts, and the tailpiece was swapped with a rounded replica Aluminum Tailpiece. Additionally we installed some newer Kluson style tuners and aged those up. We set this guitar up and it's playing like a dream, the 60s neck profile is very comfortable and the satin finish throughout is very smooth under your hands.
The Satin finish on the Flame Top has faded slightly but you're left with a lovely pale honey burst appearance, even though the technical name for this finish is Faded Tobacco Burst (go figure). Lastly we changed all the wiring to one of our fabulous Emerson Pre-Wired kits with new pots and paper in oil caps.
There is play wear throughout but it's ready to start making music and all the hard mod work is already done for you!
