2016 Gibson Memphis ES LPSTD Les Paul

2016 Gibson Memphis ES LPSTD Les Paul

Ever fancied a Gibson Les Paul but just put of by the weight? Enter the Memphis ESLP, so not chambered or weight relieved but built in the spirit of the ES range so a maple center block which results in an overall weight of just 6 lbs 2oz! This is one of just a 100 produced with no F holes which is what you will commonly find. It has an attractive  figured maple top finished in a rich tea burst and the back finish is translucent revealing the figure to the maple back. You could think of these as a Gretsch jet style guitar in a Gibson format as they share similar construction techniques. Its in very lightly used condition with just one mark on the back at the cutaway.
