At first glance, this guitar is a really clean Gibson Les Paul Studio from 2008.  That's exactly what it is, but it was originally one of the panned "Robot" guitars with the auto tuning system.  The guitar has been professionally changed to operate with the standard electronics we all know and love.

The pots are Gibson replacements.  Tuners are Grovers.  The original bridges were re-used.  

The guitar plays as new, but with a fresh setup and new strings.  The frets showed the lightest of wear on arrival.  The neck is straight with no issues and a fully functional truss rod.  There are no breaks or repairs - just the electronics and tuner changes.  

A nice Gibson hardshell case is included.
