Rare and beautiful 2001 Custom Shop Standard with ALL Korina body and neck, in MINT condition. This Yamano special order is built like Historic Les Paul reissues: non-chambered, non-weight relieved, with the long tenon, holly headstock veneer, ABR-1 bridge, thin binding in the cutaway, reissue style routings, dark ruby red tortoise side markers (you have to put in direct sunlight to see the red), silkscreened "Les Paul model", MOP Gibson inlay, and Historic-Vintage spec 2 1/4" spacing between the pickup rings. Most of the Korina Les Pauls, what few there were, are either the 1999 version that are the regular USA short tenon version, or the other style Custom Shop version with Western maple quilted tops. This is the ONLY one I have seen like this one. The rosewood fretboard is dark, smooth and waxy, a very high quality selection of wood. I suspect it is Madagascar. Korina is probably the best solid body guitar tone wood. This Les Paul has the great sustain Les Pauls are known for, plus a fantastic dynamic SNAP! not found on regular mahogany and maple Les Pauls. The neck is between a thick 58 and a medium 59, substantial but not overly large like some early 00s Historic Goldtops are. The original medium jumbo frets are in mint condition, the neck is straight, with no buzzing or dead spots. . Nice weight: 4013 gram. 95000 SEK
