Here is a very cool Guitar of the Month model from 2008. It's a limited edition of 1000 guitars inspired by the legendary Gibson ES-295. This is the unique Les Paul version of that beauty. This is nr 418 of 1000 and it's in excellent condition. Just very light wear on some spots if you look very close. The papers and original case are included.

Gibson USA's LP-295 Goldtop combines the legendary characteristics with avant-grade features that keep it one step ahead of everything else. This new Guitar of the Month for April 2008 sets the classic appoinmnets of Gibson's renowned ES-295 onto the body and neck of the celebrated Les Paul. The standard Les Paul cutaway gives way to the wider Florentine cutaway normally found on such legendary gibson models as the Byrdland, the ES-175 and the ES-295. The hand-painted, cream colored pickguard with gold flowers is also styled after the ES-295's, as are the split parallelogram inlays, and the chrome Bigsby tailpiece. Graphite nut and bridge saddles offer better string contol when using the Bigsby. The body is solid mahogany with a maple top and single-ply cream binding, smoothed with Gibson's classic Goldtop finish.The headstock is also bound in single-ply cream binding, and sports Gibson's traditional holly symbol. In the neck position, Gibson's '57 Classic pickup delivers warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch. The '57 Classic Plus is the perfect bridge-position companion to the '57 Classic, inspired by the design of the original PAF's of the late 1950's and the early 1960's. The new LP-295, housed in a custom Guitar of the Month case from Gibson USA, is versatile enough for all styles of music and playing, and an admirable addition to Gibson's current lineup of special edition guitars. Like all of Gibson USA's Guitars of the Month, production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
