Description
Gibson Custom Shop Korina Quilt Les Paul Standard Offered for your consideration is this SUPER RARE 2001 Korina Les Paul. This superb guitar has been in my Ultimate Select collection for the last 3 years. I purchased this from vintage instrument dealer who had sold one like this the week before for $10,000. I have played it rarely although it is a fantastic player with a unique tone from the African Limba Korina wood, and incredible sustain. It has a smooth and sweet mid range voice and is very resonant when played unplugged. The weight is at an ideal 9 pounds. The one piece 50’s neck with a 59 profile is straight and the action is semi low. 22 Jumbo frets with Trapezoid inlays adorn the Rosewood fretboard. The tuners are Nickel Grovers and the pick ups are Nickel covered PAF’s. The black Vintage Custom shop case ,COA , factory care guide, set up and Warranty registration papers are included. No modifications have been made to the guitar. The COA serial number is CS1XX86, model CSLPSTDKQ. The body and neck are made of beautifully grained Korina while the top is finished in Natural Blonde book matched Cloud Burst Quilted Maple. The top has Flames in some lighting and is Tubular in others. There is incredible 3 D depth and movement as well in the top. The serial number was verified with the Gibson Custom Shop as being a Korina guitar. The exact number made was not recorded, and I was told they are made only when the wood is available and in very limited numbers. The previous owner stated that he was told there were only 13 of these made, with only 4 having the Natural Blonde tops. This guitar was sent to an East Coast USA dealer from the Gibson Custom Shop originally. Condition is excellent overall, with no function issues. The nickel hardware has some tarnishing, which should polish out, but I prefer to leave it. The finish has several small impressions and there is one small compression ding which shows in a picture, to the rear of the bridge, at the point of a reflection. The frets do not show wear, and the back is clean. There is not a pick guard; it was not ever drilled for one. Again, these Korina Les Pauls are among the rarest and produced in very limited numbers. This investment grade guitar is in the class of the Murphy’s, Jimmy Page’s and Limited Run Signature series masterpieces. Hard to even find these listed in Price guides such as the Blue Book of Guitars. This Les Paul is truly a RARE and COLLECTIBLE AXE. Mostly this LP has killer TONE, looks and playability that rivals any Relic, Boutique, Vintage, Custom Shop or Hand made Rare Tonewood axe out there. It has the magic, It has the MOJO.
