Your offer on the Les Paul Special:
...

Description

This was the main guitar of a trio of similar Les Pauls used during the Machina era. This specific guitar is the #1 for both recording that album, as well as on tour. Two other Les Paul Specials from this era (distinguished by different stickers) will be available for sale in August 2017 for a fixed price.

So tracks like the opener, “Everlasting Gaze,” and any other track on the album with a big, heavy sound (“Heavy Metal Machine,” “The Imploding Voice”) was made with this guitar. It was the #1 guitar choice live on the subsequent tours after the release as well.

You'll first notice the missing pickup selector switch, something common to all of Corgan's LP Specials. He had the neck pickup bypassed and the switch removed on all of them. This was is distinguished by a sticker of Jim Morrison. This guitar also has a handful of nasty gashes the dug into the wood on the side of the body near the pickguard. Other than that, it has minimal wear, with pickguard scratches, pickup casing rub, and hardware that has lost its luster.

The bridge pickup sounds great, with working electronics. The neck pickup, as noted, has been intentionally bypassed and the pickup selector switch removed. The fingerboard plays cleanly in all positions.

This guitar will ship in its original Gibson hardshell case.

Weight: 8.4 lbs. (3.8 kg)
