Gibson / Les Paul Special / 1957 / TV Yellow / Guitar
|
Ok, here’s the deal. This is an mostly-original (replaced nut and refret), no-issues 1957 Les Paul Special TV. That’s nice. Point number two: it belonged to Keith Nelson of Buckcherry. Yup, doesn’t actually boost the price, but it’s a rather cool thing. Isn’t it? :)
This is a tone monster. Period. No issues, original finish, incredible checking and playwear all over the guitar, but still in very good condition. No repairs or anything of the sort. It’s been refretted but original frets are included. Blacklights perfectly, and plays very nicely. It was Keith’s after all, and he knows his stuff, we all know that much. Neck is definitely not a slim taper, but not a baseball bat either. Pretty much a late 58 profile, imho.
Two powerful P90’s, they’ve been raised up with some shims (that can be removed and leave no mark), but we prefer to leave them there, this is probably how Keith set it up anyway. Lovely killer tone-machine… what are you waiting for?

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
