1999 Yamano Gibson Les Paul R0- includes original HSC, paperwork and case candy. Some wear and worming, but still excellent condition for an 18 yr old guitar. It's been played a lot, but that's because it's one of those guitars you want to play a LOT. Currently has zebra Duncan Alnico II Pro APH-2 pickups installed. Rumbleseat told me it had a Braz board, but I can neither confirm nor deny that. I asked Gibson and they said "possibly"... so, take that for what it's worth. Guitar weighs in at a nice 8lbs 8oz.
$4399 shipped & insured via PP gift, or add 3%.
I do have some trade interests which I will list shortly, but they're pretty specific.
I've gotten several questions about it, so I thought I'd post the info for everyone to see...in case anyone else had the same questions:
"Well, it's a '60 reissue, so it has a pretty typical '60 reissue profile and width. I don't own calipers, so I'm not sure of the exact measurements. I am not the original owner of the guitar, BTW. The fret wire is essentially the same as what's on my '13 R9 and the nibs are intact. The tuners and hardware all appear original to the guitar. The tuners are the "Gibson Deluxe" Klusons. The reflector knobs are what came on it and I believe them to be original. I had '59 style top hat/bell knobs on it for a while, but I put the original reflectors back on it. The pots are 500K CTS with "Bumblebee" caps. The original pickups that were in it were '57 Classics and I sold those. The uncovered zebra Duncan APH-2 Alnico II Pro's that you see in the bottom pics in the OP are what is in the guitar now. As far as weight goes, I'll have to get an exact weight when I get home this evening, but it is very light...not nearly as heavy as my '13 R9.
Right off the top of my head, a couple of possible trade interests or partial trades +/- cash would be a humbucker gold top Les Paul with a slimmer neck (not overly fond of the typical R7 profile), or a lemonburst Les Paul...R0 or R9 especially (no R8's though- same deal with the profile/thickness). I can put together a comprehensive list when I get home this evening. Of course, cash is always great!"
Thought of a couple more trade interests- a Marshall Slash AfD 100w head, a Randy Rhoads signature Marshall 1959RR head, or a YJM-100 Yngwie signature Plexi...
