I'm starting what seems to be my yearly purge. Starting with these for now:
2011 Gibson Les Paul Studio - 7.64 pounds and it has a thinner neck profile (more 60s style). Lots of upgrades. Bought this from a guy on MLP. Was all black. I made sure to take a bunch of pictures so that you can see that the work isn't perfect. Binding was added all the way around the guitar/fretboard and there are a few spots that aren't all that great. There also seems to be a hairline crack near the headstock, leading up to the nut. Neck doesn’t show any signs of weakness, I’d be surprised if the crack is any deeper than a hairline. When I had all the finish off the guitar, there was no gap/separation at all. There is a picture that focuses on that. Not substantial but definitely worth mentioning. I gave it a nice set up, stripped the paint off of it, refinished the front in pelham blue (nitro spray), used gun stock oil on the back, clear coated the whole thing with nitro clear, and added the mini humbuckers. I am not certrain of the brand of pickups. They sound really good but I'm sure they aren't anything expensive. I upgraded the wiring as well. 50s style wiring. CTS 500k pots, Orange drop capacitors, good stuff. The nitro finish is already showing signs of checking, I tried to catch that in one of the side angle photos. One of those things about adding a thin layer of nitro, it can crack easily. Personally, I love it. Maximize the photos and really take a close look at it, I am trying to showcase it as accurately as possible. Comes with a Gibson USA gig bag.
TLDR: Beautiful upgraded guitar with a few cosmetic blemishes/flaws.

Mesa Mark III (SOLD) - Blue stripe, simul class, reverb, graphic EQ. Such a beast of an amp. I built this head cabinet. First time I had attempted anything like that. Did my best making some box joints but as you can see in the pictures, it isn't perfect. Look closely at the pictures, if you want something perfect, this isn't it. Does look nice though, overall I was happy with the results. Made out of 11-ply birch. The reverb unit does not fit into the head shell (I didn't have use for the onboard reverb) but I will include the reverb tank in case you ever want to add it. This particular Mark III Blue Stripe has the R2 volume mod. You can see in the pics that the presence knob is stacked. The bottom knob controls the level of the presence and the inner controls the volume of R2. This makes R2 actually usable IMO

This is not a Gibson guitar. It is a kit guitar that was built with top notch parts. It plays and looks and sounds fantastic.
The guitar has a Cherry Nitro paint job $300
Grover tuners $80
bone nut $50
Gibson truss rod cover $15
Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Neck
Suhr Pete Thorn Thornbucker + bridge $200 for both pickups
Custom Vintage Wiring harness with CTS Pots, Gel capacitors, Cloth wiring $100
Gibson Vintage Style Knobs $25
Gibson ABR-1 Bridge $80
Gibson nickel tailpiece $40
Gibson Strap buttons $20
The guitar is used and has minor dings. Really looking over the guitar you will notice some imperfections. There are some finish over spray areas and the neck pocket isn't absolutely perfect. Nothing hurting the playability but it is something worth mentioning. See all the pics and ask for any others before making a purchase.
Includes an old gibson brown acoustic case and pickguard. You wont be sorry!
