2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard Premium Plus in Heritage Cherry Sunburst, and the AAA flame maple top on these is the whole reason the Premium Plus exists. It's in excellent condition, bought new from Sweetwater in 2012 with just one owner before me, and it still has the original Gibson manual and the Sweetwater 55 point inspection card. This is the most electronically loaded Standard Gibson ever built: Burstbucker Pro humbuckers with alnico 5 magnets running into four push/pull knobs, so both volumes give you frequency tuned Fat Tap coil splitting for a single coil voice that stays hum reducing and doesn't drop output, while the tone knobs handle a phase switch and Gibson's Pure Bypass, which sends the bridge pickup straight to the jack with nothing in the way. Physically it's a modern weight relieved mahogany body, asymmetrical 60s SlimTaper neck that's a touch fuller on the bass side and thinner on the treble side, compound radius rosewood board with acrylic trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, locking Grover tuners, and TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece. It's original apart from three things: the nut has been upgraded to bone, which is a real improvement over the factory piece, strap locks were added with the original buttons included, and the pickguard comes along never installed and still in its plastic wrap. Fair warning, there's a little smoke smell to it, nothing overwhelming but worth mentioning up front.

Return Policy:

Payment

Item is not reserved or considered sold until payment has fully cleared. Pending or unverified payments do not hold the item.

Pre-purchase Inspection

All buyers are responsible for reviewing every photo and the full listing description before purchasing. Additional photos, measurements, or details are available on request — please ask before you buy, not after. Purchasing constitutes acknowledgment that you have reviewed the listing in full.

All Sales Final

Items are sold as-is. Cancellations are not accepted once payment has cleared. A 15% restocking fee applies to any cancelled order, regardless of shipping or tracking status, as preparation, packing, and handling begin immediately upon sale.

Returns

Returns are by approval only and must be requested within 24 hours of delivery. Approved returns are subject to:

• —A 15% restocking fee (non-negotiable)

• —Return in original condition with all original packaging and accessories

• —Buyer-paid return shipping with full insurance and signature confirmation

• —Refund issued only after the item is received and inspected

Items returned damaged, incomplete, or without insurance are not eligible for refund.

Condition Expectations

You are purchasing a used instrument, not a professionally set-up guitar. Minor adjustments (intonation, action, tuning stability, etc.) are expected and are the buyer's responsibility. “Used” condition is not grounds for a return.

Communication

Questions are welcome before purchase. Message me anytime — I'd rather answer ten questions upfront than deal with a misunderstanding after the sale.
