1999 Gibson Les Paul Standard Natural SmartWood Limited Edition

1999 Gibson Les Paul Standard Natural SmartWood Limited Edition After a long study of the series, I realized that this model has a few differences from the "standard" standard. First of all, it is the fretboard - it is made of Chechen wood, which is also a rosewood, it is also called "Caribbean Rosewood", many people do not hear the difference from regular rosewood, the sound difference is not that great, that is true, but still, like Brazilian rosewood, it is a little bit more pleasant to the fingers, and it adds a certain velvetiness to the sound. The second important thing is that it is made without weight relief (non Weight Relieved & no tummy cut). Also, on the back of the headstock, like on a Custom Shop, there is a mark - SmartWood Series + Gibson certificate for the guitar about its uniqueness. Otherwise, this is a traditional Gibson Les Paul Standard, which has a one-piece mahogany body with a two-piece maple top, the neck is also made of mahogany, standard mother-of-pearl trapezoid fretboard inlays, Natural Glossy Nitro Finish, 490R & 498T pickups, 24.75 scale length. Oh, and the Antique Natural color, which is rare for Standards, and very comfortable tone and volume knobs. Made in the USA :) Here is a page from the catalog I must say that this is almost the only standard that I personally liked for its sound from my recent period from the late 90s to today, and I would even keep it for myself, but I do not like the natural color. In short, it sounds gorgeous! Set up by a master! Here is the sound of the same LP, but with open pickups The guitar is in very good condition for its age, there are a couple of marks but overall the condition is pleasing! The guitar comes with documents, there is even a pickguard (I specifically put it on for the photo, I liked how it looked more), and also included is the original brown case The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on a good tube equipment of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl.... I will deliver to anywhere in the world.
