2018 Gibson Les Paul Standard - Blood Orange Burst (Custombuckers) w/ HSC

Please see our shop’s description for contact information, and thank you for stopping by Northside Buy & Sell! Up for sale is a 2018 Gibson Les Paul Standard in the gorgeous Blood Orange Burst finish. This is one of the more striking finish options from this era, with a highly figured maple top that really comes alive under different lighting. This example has received a couple of excellent upgrades that move it toward a more traditional Les Paul configuration. The original pickups have been replaced with a pair of 2025 Gibson Custombuckers with cream bobbins, and the factory electronics have been replaced with a high-quality Emerson pre-wired harness. The result is a straightforward, traditional Les Paul control layout without the push/pull functions found on the original 2018 Standard electronics. The Custombuckers and Emerson harness are both premium, desirable upgrades and make for a particularly nice combination in this guitar. Additional changes include replacement knobs and strap-lock style strap buttons. None of the original removed parts are included. Condition is Solid Very Good overall. The figured top is exceptionally clean and presents beautifully. The back shows a fair amount of typical player wear, primarily worming, scratching and buckle/pants wear, which is best illustrated in the photos. There are also the normal light handling and clearcoat marks associated with a played instrument. Overall, it remains a very attractive guitar and presents beautifully. The neck has a distinctly slim, tapered feel, measuring approximately .800” at the 1st fret and .865” at the 12th, making this a great choice for players who prefer the slimmer end of the Les Paul neck spectrum. The frets are very clean and have no discernible wear speak of. This was recently given a pro setup with a set of 10-46 gauge strings so it plays amazingly with a straight neck, low action, and accurate intonation.
