WTB: Gibson Les Paul

Okay, here's the deal. I've been searching for quite a while for a Les Paul that screams buy me. I have found that a few times only to procrastinate a bit and it end up selling out from under me. My objective is to buy a Les Paul that I'll be happy with for a LONG time. That being said, I want what I want and I don't want what I don't want.

Things I Don't Want:

- Studio models
- Cherry, honey, iced tea burts of any type (tobacco is okay with a decent flame figure)
- Plain top with no figure
- No solid color finishes (black, white, gold top)
- Gold hardware (unless it's a Custom...but a Custom with nickel is a big plus)
- 50's baseball bat neck
- No cracks or crack repairs
- No chambered guitars
- No retro-fit trems, Bigsby's, etc

Things That Are A Plus:

- Classic Custom Silverburst with Custom Binding
- Wine Red
- Nickel Hardware
- Flame figure or an interesting figure
- Custom binding
- Early 2000's or older year models

Alright...so, as long as it's not in my "Things I Don't Want" list, it's open. However, I can and probably will amend both of my lists. Hopefully there is someone out there selling what I want at a fair price. It must come with a Gibson Les Paul case if not the original one. Also, it has to be in good to near mint condition.
 
I have A Standard LE that might be for sale. Looks just like this pic-

What's an LE?
Click to expand...

A jewel of the Les Paul Standard family.

The rich, deep hues of the Les Paul LE Series come alive with the flame of a maple top in the Gibson Les Paul Standard Limited Edition. White body binding and ebony fingerboard enhance the effect, making this LE guitar a standout among the Standards. The feel and soundÿcome from a slim '60s neck design with a smaller peghead and BurstBuckerÿPro pickups that are double-potted for a tighter, balanced, biting tone with more midrange. Mahogany body and neck. Metal button Kluson tuners. Includes Gibson hardshell case.

Gibson Les Paul Standard Limited Edition Specifications:

* Peghead Pitch: 17 degrees
* Thickness at 1st fret: 0.818"
* Thickness at 12th fret: 0.963"
* Neck Joint Location: 16th fret
* Scale length: 24-3/4"
* Total Length: 18.137"
* Nut Width: 1-11/16"
* Width at 12th fret: 2.062"

Hey NL,

Looks awesome, that's the Midnight finish isn't it?

The last LP we imported was a Pacific Reef Std LE, this was before the Aust., importers even had them. It's an all round great guitar.

:cool:
 
Ebony fretboards are interetsing, that LE is swwwwweeeeeeeet.
 
Closing this thread cause I just bought a Gibson Les Paul Custom. Mmmmmm
