Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty with Hardcase, Razor Pickups & Stand in Manchester, Greater Manchester for sale

Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty, 3 pickup, 6-string electric guitar with new "Razor THVP-Plus Razor Tribute Plus Pickups". Please note, the new pickups are fit on the guitar, and the originals are in the packets seen in the photo (included in the sale). The Razor pickups give this guitar a unique vintage-style tone, whilst still being able to whack out modern numbers with a punch! The pickups themselves are worth £160 brand new! The guitar itself is in a brilliant condition, with just a few light scratches (as would be expected from a gigging guitar). Other than that, the guitar is in top condition - the reason for the sale being that I now play a Fender Strat, and would rather my old Beauty not just be sat there - she needs to be played! Included in the sale is a stunning custom hard case, unique to holding this guitar. Inside there's a soft purple material, and a small storage area in order to keep bits and bobs such as plecs, a couple of wires etc. I am also throwing in the stand seen in the pictures as a freebie. Please Note: Due to the size and value of the item, it is absolutely collection only. I will be sad to see this guitar go, however as I mentioned, it's there to be played and needs to go to a good home! Thanks for your custom, and happy Greatbritainlisteding! "The Les Paul Custom made its debut in 1954 after the initial success of the Les Paul Goldtop. Les Paul thought his namesake guitar needed a new look and suggested a classy ebony finish would go well with a tuxedo on stage. But Les also knew that the “Les Paul” guitar had to keep up with the competition, so his "Les Paul" also got an additional pickup, making the Les Paul 'Black Beauty one of the most striking guitars of its time. Les thought so too and frequently performed with his Black Beauty on the Les Paul and Mary Ford weekly television show. The Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty 3 has often been referred to as the "ultimate tuxedo" Les Paul. And with its gold appointments, fully bound body, neck, headstock and pearloid inlays, we think you'll agree that the Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty 3 is one of a kind."
