2013 Gibson Les Paul Special – Desert Burst – Upgraded Bridge + Gig Bag – Great Condition

Selling my 2013 Gibson Les Paul Special in the stunning *Desert Burst* satin finish. This model was a **Guitar Center exclusive** for 2013 and features a lightweight, stripped-down design with classic Gibson tone and excellent playability. Made in the USA, it sports a solid mahogany body and neck with a smooth rosewood fingerboard and a fast-playing slim '60s neck profile. This guitar is in **great tycondition** with **only minor cosmetic wear** from normal use (some light marks and pick swirls in the finish—nothing structural or significant). Frets are in excellent shape and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck. ### 🔧 Notable Features: * **Upgraded Bridge**: Original wrap-around tailpiece has been upgraded to a **TonePros intonatable wraparound bridge**, allowing for much more precise tuning and intonation control—an excellent improvement over the stock setup. * **Pickups**: Gibson 490R (neck) and 490T or 500T (bridge) humbuckers deliver a versatile range of tones from warm cleans to biting overdrive. * **Finish**: Satin nitrocellulose lacquer – thin, breathable, and will naturally relic over time. * **Weight**: Approximately 8–8.5 lbs – lighter and more comfortable than a standard Les Paul. * **Controls**: 2 volumes, 1 tone, and a 3-way switch for classic Les Paul simplicity. ### 🧳 Includes: * **Gibson-branded gig bag** * **Upgraded TonePros bridge (installed)** This is a perfect guitar for someone who wants real Gibson quality in a sleek, no-nonsense format. I’m also open to trades for the right gear—specifically interested in a Nord keyboard, USA Fender Strat, Fender Princeton Reverb, Vola guitars, or modern Japanese-made guitars.
