The previous owner has upgraded the original pickups to a pair of Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special humbuckers, retaining the traditional chrome covers, and has also installed a fully functional killswitch between the controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor someone who wants a classic Les Paul with a slightly more individual setup, this is a very cool guitar. The Saturday Night Specials are a particularly nice match for a Les Paul, giving plenty of vintage character but with a little more clarity, punch and openness than you might expect from a hotter modern pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar itself plays incredibly well. The SlimTaper ’60s mahogany neck is quick and comfortable, the action feels excellent, and acoustically it has all the weight and resonance you would expect from a good Les Paul Standard. Plugged in, the upgraded Seymour Duncans sound fantastic, from warm neck tones through to articulate, powerful bridge sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall this is a very tidy used example, but it has clearly been played and we have priced it accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are some visible scratches to the front of the Ebony finish, particularly around the lower section of the top.
