Epiphone 2005 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty w/ Original Case, Very Good

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Epiphone 2005 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty in Ebony is in very good condition.

This is the three-pickup Black Beauty configuration, carrying three Epiphone Alnico humbuckers — neck and middle units reading 8.33k and ~8.34k respectively, and a bridge pickup reading 13.04k. The mahogany neck has a C profile with a 12" fretboard radius on a rosewood board with pearloid block inlays. The nut is Tusq synthetic bone at 1-11/16" width. The 3-way toggle is wired to select neck, neck/middle/bridge combinations depending on switch and middle volume interaction. Hardware is gold throughout.

The bridge, saddles, and related screws are non-original — a Sung II BM003 roller saddle bridge has been fitted in place of the stock unit. Everything else is original: finish, pickguard and its screws, tuners and tuner screws, nut, tailpiece, switch, switch tip, all three pickups and their screws, wiring, solder joints, pots, output jack and jack plate, knobs, and control cavity cover are all unaltered. There are no repairs of any kind to the neck, fretboard, or frets. The body shows a ding on the bottom side and buckle rash on the back. The gold pickup covers show wear. We set it up here in the shop; action is low at 2/32" on the first string and 2/32" on the sixth string at the 12th fret. Frets are in very good condition.

The original Epiphone case is in good condition with no smell. Strings are 10-46.
