This is one Les Paul that stands out in a crowd... This is a Gibson Les Paul Standard with stunning flames and a heritage cherry finish, that has aged like a fine wine and now looks closer to an iced tea . It was built in the USA in 2003 and this one has great attention to craftsmanship and detail. The Les Paul Standard features the beautiful flame maple top over a mahogany body with a rounded mahogany neck that has a slim tapered 60's profile. The dark chocolate rosewood fingerboard board has trapezoid inlays and there are two upgraded Seymour Duncan pickups and tune-o-matic bridge. The hardware and finish are all original to this guitar and there is not too much play wear. It has a very clean top with a few nicks and scratches on the back. (see pics) This is a great looking and playing LP, but most importantly the sound is really superb. It has been given a professional set up and fine tuning by Lays Guitars, who also did an AMAZING, nearly invisible headstock repair.

About Lay's Guitar Shop:

Virgil Lay started Lay’s Guitar Shop in Akron, Ohio, in 1962. The store has been serving amateur and professional musicians nationwide ever since. Virgil worked on instruments for such players as Jack Bruce, Phil Keaggy, Joe Walsh and bands such as "Bad Company" and "The Outlaws." Jimmy Page‘s Les Paul #1 had its neck shaved at Lay's Guitar Shop.

Dan Shinn, the current owner, started working for Virgil Lay in 1979. He acquired the guitar repair shop from Virgil in the late ’80s and to this day upholds the reputation for high quality repairs and restorations that have been the hallmark of Lay’s Guitar Shop. Under Dan’s management, Lay’s Guitar Shop has not only upheld the high standards set by Virgil Lay, but has expanded the business to accommodate an international market. This is due to the finish and restoration department, headed by Joel Shinn, for over 25 years.



It has just been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s


We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
