Description

This 2013 Gary Moore Les Paul Standard is a first-class Les Paul, decked out to Gary's own preferred specifications. Many details are reminiscent of the famed "Peter Green" Les Paul, from its highly flamed maple top with Lemon Burst finish, to its traditional Les Paul Model headstock with signature truss-rod cover and its mismatched amber and gold top hat knobs.This guitar features a top carved from figured Grade-AA maple, and a back crafted from Grade-A mahogany. To better show of the luscious nitrocellulose Lemonburst finish, the body carries no binding or pickguard. It is strategically weight-relieved to render this a superbly comfortable guitar. The neck is made from quarter-sawn Grade-A mahogany and carved to a rounded '50s profile that measures 0.818" at the 1st fret and 0.963" at the 12th. It is topped with an unbound Granadillo fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and traditional acrylic trapezoid inlays.The two BurstBucker Pro pickups are made with Alnico V magnets and wound with 42 AWG wire with extra turns in the bridge pickup's coils for a hotter lead sound. The neck pickup is reversed in its mounting, in recognition of a similar modification to Peter Green's Les Paul. The guitar carries the traditional control layout, with Orange Drop tone capacitors and mismatched amber and gold top hat knobs on the neck and bridge pickup controls respectively.A TonePros™ Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece with locking mounting hardware partner with TonePros™ Kluson green-key tuners to comprise a first-class hardware set.Excellent overall condition. There is one small ding in the lacquer on the edge of the back, otherwise, no notable marks, just some light signs of playwear.Sale includes original 'Gary Moore' signature case and paperwork.Full professional setup and new strings.
