1991 Gibson Les Paul 40th Anniversary Black
Description
1991 Gibson Les Paul 40th Anniversary — “Handyman Special”
In real estate terms… this one’s a fixer-upper.
Let’s skip the fluff and give you the cold, hard truth:
Truss rod is non-functional
Neck has excessive relief (.040" at fret 7)
Action won’t come down cleanly below:
.080" high E @ 12th fret
.100" low E @ 12th fret
Translation: the action is high. Very high.
We’re selling it as-is.
If you’re a luthier → this is a project
If you play slide → this might be your bargain Les Paul
If you’re a barbarian → you’re good to go
It does not play well. We promise.
Because of that, this is a no-returns sale — please know exactly what you’re getting into.
Bonus features:
It’s heavy (10 lbs. 2oz)
No case
But…
It looks killer
And in the right hands, it could absolutely be brought back to life
Re-neck it through Gibson, have a skilled repair person work their magic, or embrace it for what it is.
Enter at your own risk.
