Epiphone Les Paul Custom 2008 – Keith Richards Psychedelic Hand-Painted

Price: £425 SOLD

Description:

The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years. This is a truly unique example of the beautifully constructed Epiphone Les Paul Custom.

The serial number has worn over time and is faint in places; however, using UV light it is believed to read EE080603499. Based on this, the guitar was made in June 2008 at the Qingdao (elektrisch) factory in China.

This guitar is a one-off, hand-painted piece by an unknown artist. The artist appears to have taken a 2008 Epiphone Les Paul Custom and created a tribute to Keith Richards’ late-1960s psychedelic Les Paul. The original guitar (not this one) appeared around 1968 and featured a hand-drawn design believed to depict the sun and moon from Earth’s perspective, along with an erupting volcano. It was seen during the 1970 European tour before being retired, and is now believed to be in the hands of a private collector. This guitar captures that spirit in a bold and creative way.

On this guitar, the artwork has been hand painted over the original lacquer, giving the front a slightly textured finish somewhere between matte and gloss, so it is not perfectly smooth to the touch. The paint is solid and stable. Unlike the original, the knobs have not been hand painted but instead feature silver star stickers to create a similar effect.

As expected for a guitar of this age (around 18 years old), some of the gold hardware and binding has naturally aged, with areas of plating wear. This kind of natural relicing is something many players actively seek out, and something the Gibson Murphy Lab aims to replicate artificially.

This guitar has clearly been a “go to” instrument, having been played and enjoyed. As such, it has picked up some minor bumps and knocks, all of which are purely cosmetic and do not affect playability or structure in any way. These have been shown as clearly as possible in the pictures and video and may appear more pronounced under direct lighting. If you are looking for a pristine “case queen” this may not be the one, but if you want a guitar with real character and mojo, this absolutely delivers.

The guitar has had a full refurbishment and professional setup, including cleaning of all parts, fretboard conditioning, pots & switch cleaning, and has been fitted with a fresh set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9–42 gauge). It plays beautifully with a very comfortable medium to low action.

The 3-way selector switch offers the following tonal configuration:
• Rhythm position: neck pickup
• Middle position: neck, middle and bridge together
• Treble position: bridge pickup and middle

I have sold a large number of Les Pauls (both Epiphone and Gibson) over the years, and this is without doubt one of the most unique pieces I’ve had come through, a real conversation starter that stands out from the crowd.

Other than the cosmetic signs of use mentioned above, this is a well-built Epiphone Les Paul Custom with a completely unique aesthetic, ready to continue to be played and enjoyed.

I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed!

Epiphone Les Paul ES Hollow Body Cherry Sunburst 2001 made in Unsung Factory Korea

Price: £685 – SOLD

Description:
The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years. This is a fantastic example of the beautiful, expertly constructed, semi-hollow Epiphone Les Paul ES. This guitar was built in March 2001 at the highly regarded Unsung factory in Korea.

Early 2000s Korean-made Epiphones from the Unsung plant (typically identified by the “U” prefix in the serial number) are often considered part of the “golden era” of Epiphone manufacturing. These guitars are widely respected for their skilled construction, quality wood selection and excellent craftsmanship. Many players praise the consistent build quality, resonance and use of high-quality woods, components and feel, and these guitars have developed a strong reputation as serious value giants. When properly set up, they can comfortably rival far more expensive modern Gibsons, in both playability and tone.

This guitar is now over 25 years old and has clearly been well looked after. Naturally, over time it had picked up some minor cosmetic knocks, marks and scratches. It has now undergone a thorough refurbishment, with some of the light bumps, knocks and scratches sympathetically filled and polished. These areas are now really only visible under direct lighting. As expected for a guitar of this age, there are still some normal light surface scratches consistent with 25 years of careful use. Please note there are no breaks or repairs other than the mentioned marks and scratches and these are purely cosmetic, I have shown these in the pictures and videos as best as possible.

It has had a new Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch professionally installed, all hardware cleaned, and the pots cleaned. It has also been re-strung with a new set of D’Addario XL Nickel Wound Strings (9-42) gauge and set up to play beautifully with comfortable low action.

This is the second 2001 Unsung-made Les Paul ES I have had for sale, the first one was listed at £775, these are rarer than hen’s teeth, so don’t let this one get away from you.

Other than the minor cosmetic signs of age mentioned above, this is a well-built, mature Korean-made Epiphone that deserves to continue to be played and enjoyed.

I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed!

Epiphone Les Paul Standard – Cherry Sunburst 2008

Price: £380 – SOLD

Description:

The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years. This is a lovely example of the beautiful, expertly constructed, Epiphone Les Paul. This guitar was made in the Qingdao factory in China in June 2008 and has been well looked after.

This guitar has had a full refurbishment and full setup, cleaning all parts and making various small adjustments to lower the action and make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, pots & switch being cleaned, and re-strung with a new set of D’Addario XL Nickel Wound Strings (9-42) gauge.

The guitar is in really good condition overall with loads of life left in the frets. The only thing to note is that over the years the guitar had picked up some knocks/dents. These have been sympathetically filled and polished. The areas of repair are on the bottom by the jack socket, on the back of the body and by the 11th fret (near the 12th dot markers). They are now smooth to the touch and only slightly visible.

As typical with guitars of this age it has the usual minor light play marks/light scratches (exaggerated in the photos as under direct lighting). I have shown these in the pictures and videos. Please note that these marks are purely cosmetic. They are only really noticeable under direct lighting and not particularly noticeable to the naked eye. The guitar has been well looked after and is in good condition for a guitar built over 18 years ago!

Other than the above mentioned minor visual imperfections this guitar has been played, loved and been well looked after, it needs to continue to be played and enjoyed.

I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed!

Les Paul 50’s style wiring harness upgrade – Made using the best availalble Components USA CTS/SoZo

Price: £80 SOLD

Les Paul Vintage 50’s Wiring Harness

This upgrade will not only provide you with improved ability to control your sound with better, custom spec quality pots, but you will also hear and feel the difference in your guitars amplified sound. This is the ideal way to improve and get the very best out of your guitar.

Most production guitars have been built using reasonable quality components (and in some cases inferior, cheap components) but if you want to get the very best out of your guitar, surely then manufacturers should be using the best quality parts available on the market. Upgrading your guitars electronics is a cost-effective way of vastly improving your guitar’s sound and ability to shape your tone.  

1950s Les Paul wiring differs from modern wiring primarily in how the tone pots are connected to the volume pots. In 50s wiring, the tone pots are connected to the output of the volume pots, whereas in modern wiring, they are connected to the input of the volume pots. This difference impacts the interaction between the volume and tone controls, affecting the overall tone and how it changes when the volume is rolled back. 1950’s wiring will give you a brighter, more dynamic tone and more interactive controls.

This upgrade has been built using very high-quality components.

Components:

4 x CG CTS (USA) 500k Pots (Bridge Volume / Bridge Tone & Neck Volume & Neck Tone).

2 x SoZo (USA) Nexgen 0.022uf Vintage Yellow Mustard Capacitor

Solid 20 AWG tinned wire

Each component has been tested prior to build.

More details on each of the components below.

Supplied with simple instructions how to install.

More details of parts used:

CTS Premium 500k CG Short Split Shaft Pot 5% + – Tolerance

Features:

Epiphone Les Paul Standard in Cherry Sunburst 2009 Unsung Factory

Price: £375

Description:

The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years. This ‘case queen’ is a perfect example of the beautiful, expertly constructed, Epiphone Les Paul.  This guitar was made in the Unsung Plant in Korea in October 2009.

This guitar seems to have hardly been played, and I challenge you to find a ‘used’ Les Paul Standard built in 2009 (16 years ago) in better shape!

Full disclosure:  On inspecting the guitar whilst setting it up and preparing ready for sale, it was noticed that the guitar has a very minor surface only lacquer crack above the neck pocket on the neck, (less than 4cm); this a minor lacquer defect and does not affect the playability/neck stability in any way.  You can only feel this by running you nail over the area (most people would miss it). I have tried to photograph and video to show the above mentioned to provide reassurance. I am so confident with this not being an issue, whilst I do not normally offer guarantees, in this instance, should the guitar neck fail, in this area only, I would accept a return and provide a full refund, up to 6 months from the date of purchase, subject to the guitar being returned to me with no signs of misuse i.e. the guitar must be in the same condition as when it was purchased from me, other than the mentioned area fail, with no signs of further damage.

I have shown the above in the pictures and videos and should it be required I can provide more photo’s/videos upon request.

It has just had a full setup, making various small adjustments to lower the action and make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, cleaned frets, pots being cleaned, and re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9-42) gauge.

Genuine Epiphone Premium Gig Bag or Gator Fitted Hardcase available separately – just ask for details.

I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Condition: Good Condition (see description).

Epiphone Les Paul Standard in Ebony (Black) 2013

Price: £340 – SOLD

Description:

The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years. This is a great example of the beautiful, expertly constructed, Epiphone Les Paul.  This guitar was made in the Qingdao factory in China in November 2013.

It has just had a full setup, making various small adjustments to lower the action and make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, cleaned frets, cleaned chrome parts, pots & switch being cleaned, and re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9-46) gauge.

The guitar has clearly been used and enjoyed for many years and will continue to be enjoyed as it feels and sounds great!  It remains in good overall condition with loads of life left in the frets.  The guitar has a very small dent just behind the 5^th fret dot marker.  There are also a few minor scratches and marks around the body but these there are the very typical normal dents/marks and light scratches of a guitar that’s been played and enjoyed for 12 years, certainly nothing that affects play, or are noticeable unless inspecting the guitar thoroughly.  I have shown all of the above in the pictures and videos and I can provide more photo’s/videos upon request. These marks and imperfections are purely cosmetic and don’t affect playability in any way.

This guitar is also loaded with Epiphone 57 Classic Alnico 5 pickups. The 57 is a humbucker pickup designed for today’s guitar player regardless of style or genre. The unique combination of Alnico V magnets and steel pole pieces evoke an unmistakably PAF quality in its tone.  Alnico V magnets provide the warm, smooth mid-range, and expansive lows while the ceramic pole pieces bring out the clarity in the Sound.

This guitar looks as good as it feels and sounds. I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Dealing with Ben was a sheer pleasure…the guitar was EXACTLY as described and he even threw in a free case…communication was outstanding from start to finish…I cannot recommend him highly enough

Excellent knowledge and no pressure approach of anything to do with a guitar. Repaired the broken neck of my Gibson Les Paul and made adjustments to the set up, restrung and cleaned now plays amazing. Also had a full set up and fretboard wax on a US Fender Strat now plays lovely . Bens attention to detail is the key to making your instrument play to its potential.

Had an old Aria 9300 acoustic guitar with a loose tuner and required some proper TLC! Ben was fantastic throughout the whole process and now has this acoustic playing the best it’s ever felt – for all guitar fixes and servicing, Ben’s your man!

The only person I trust more with my guitars is myself seriously, if you have any needs, buying, selling or any repairs, ben is your man

My Stratocaster had lost its magic after 10 or so years of constant play, especially towards the higher end but after a few days with Ben felt brand-new again.  My fender P Bass also had years of play with no set up. I was having issues with the bridge which Ben managed to fix instantly. When adjusting the trust rod Ben noticed that the bass felt different and reverted back to its original position which was a very nice personal touch for me as it plays exactly the way I want it, keeping the string tension low. Ben assured me if I had any problems to bring it back straight away, but I have no problems at all. The write ups/reports provided are a really cool extra as I get to read everything Ben has done. 100% recommended.

Ben did an absolutely fantastic job setting up my guitar. It plays and sounds better than ever! He’s super helpful, super friendly, and clearly knows his stuff. He took the time to explain everything and made sure I was completely happy before I left. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Fender USA Stratocaster 1987 in Olympic White Maple Fingerboard – Rare EE Serial No.

Price: £1,100 SOLD

Description:
This is an iconic, beautifully balanced, easy to play, great sounding guitar played by the greats such a Hendrix, Clapton, Gilmore etc.

In 1985 CBS sold Fender to a group of Fender employees backed by private investors, and they opened the flagship US factory and headquarters in Corona, California. This guitar was made in the US in 1987 (CTS pots dated), in the Corona factory, and it was made for the export market, hence the EE serial number. The EE serial numbered models are quite sort after, as rumour has it that Custom shop parts were used in the production of these models, and the EE serial number models are well known for their exceptional build quality.

This beautiful example has mojo oozing out of it! This is a vintage guitar now aged 38, and like a good wine, it is only getting better in time.

These guitars are not so easy to date however the year of production has been verified by the dating of the CTS pots (as shown in the pics).

The guitar has a lovely feeling neck, easy to play and the fingerboard is in excellent shape with plenty of life left in the frets. The action is low and the guitar has been recently had a full setup, to make the guitar sing, and been re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9-46) gauge. The TBX tone control had a slight crackle when being turned however this has been almost entirely eliminated with some switch cleaner and is now hardly noticeable and was not worthwhile replacing.

The guitar has been played and enjoyed and bears the marks typical of a guitar of its age, (all shown in the pictures).

It comes with its original Fender case.

Don’t miss out on this fabulous vintage piece of Fender history!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Condition: Used but in good overall condition.

Epiphone Les Paul 1960 Tribute Plus Translucent Black 2016 with Gibson ’57 classic humbuckers

Price: £425 – SOLD

Description:

The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years. This guitar is a great example of the beautiful, expertly constructed, best of the Epiphone Les Paul range.  This guitar was made in China in 2016 and is in good condition.

The Epiphone Les Paul 1960 Tribute Plus honours Epiphone’s friendship with innovator Les Paul by combining his classic design features with legendary Epiphone quality and value with the added feature of Gibson USA ’57 classic humbuckers, series parallel switching, a 1960’s Slim-Taper neck profile, a Locktone Stopbar/Tune-o-matic tailpiece and bridge and Grover Rotomatic machine heads.

The guitar is in good condition for a rock machine properly enjoyed since it was built! 

The guitar has a slight indent on the back of the neck bass side, around the third fret, it also has a minor lacquer crack by the nut treble side (less than 2cm); these are minor, and do not affect the playability/neck stability in any way.  The guitar has some small areas on the body where there are some surface only marks / playing scratches, these are barely visible and mostly only visible moving the guitar in and out of direct light.  As would be expected some of the hardware has started to naturally age, again hardly visible and some people pay extra for this from the Gibson Murphy Lab! Please note that these are purely cosmetic and barely noticeable to the naked eye. I have tried to photograph and video to show all of the above mentioned to provide reassurance.

It has had a full setup, making various small adjustments to lower the action and make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, and re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9-46) gauge.

This guitar comes with a Rocktile oversized gig bag.

I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed and the envy or many!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Epiphone Les Paul Standard in Vintage Sunburst 2008

Price:£325 – SOLD

Description:

The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years; this one is definitely giving off Slash vibes. This guitar is a good example of the beautiful, expertly constructed, Epiphone Les Paul.  This guitar was made in either the DeaWon or Unsung factory in China in November 2008.

It has just had a full setup, making various small adjustments to lower the action and make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, cleaned frets, pots being cleaned, and re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9-42) gauge.

The guitar is in good condition overall with loads of life left in the frets, the only thing to note is that the guitar over the years had picked up some dents, these have been sympathetically filled and polished. As typical with guitars of this age it has the usual minor light play marks (exaggerated on the photos as under direct lighting). I have shown these in the pictures and videos. Please note that these marks are purely cosmetic. The only one of which still really noticeable to the naked eye was a repaired knock on the back of the guitar close to the jack socket and back plate. The guitar has been well looked after and is in good condition for a guitar built over 17 years ago!

Other than the above mentioned visual imperfections this guitar has been played, loved and been well looked after, it needs to continue to be played and enjoyed.

I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed!

This guitar comes with a Marshall lightly padded gig bag.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Condition: Good Condition (see description).
