Gibson Les Paul Studio, made in 2009. It's black with a lacquer finish. It's super lightweight at 3.2kg. The frets are also relatively intact. Even though it's a Studio model, it still has that unique Gibson sound. The body is solid. It's not weight-relieved. The neck is on the thicker side; it's not a slim taper. Regarding the sound, someone once said it sounds like [Makoto Ayukawa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makoto_Ayukawa). I heard that Makoto Ayukawa's Black Beauty was quite lightweight, so I thought it might be similar. It has a dry, distorted sound. At 3.2kg, it's lightweight and likely uses good mahogany. My knees were hurting when I used a 4kg Les Paul, so I used this one for live performances. The pickups are 490R and 498T. It distorts nicely. I tend to sweat a lot, so it was useful on stage in the summer. Because it has a lacquer finish, you can move your hand smoothly on the neck even if you sweat. Recommended for those who sweat on stage. There are no noticeable scratches. The tuning pegs have been replaced with new, genuine Gibson ones. There's no crackling, and the neck is straight. The truss rod turns both ways. A soft case as shown in the photos is included. The frets are 80-90% remaining. Thank you for your consideration. #MercariHalloween
