Gibson Les Paul Modern The Pelham Blue appears a bit darker in the photos, but it's a bit brighter in person. The guitar has been customized with a black toggle switch plate, modified volume and tone knobs, and the pickguard has been removed. The original parts are also kept and will be included. There is some weather checking on the neck, but overall, there are no noticeable issues. It features an ebony fingerboard, locking tuners, frets are over 90% remaining, and the neck is straight. The truss rod has not been adjusted. The controls are advanced, allowing for a variety of tones. (The following is excerpted from the Gibson website) 2 Push/Pull Volumes (Coil-Tap), 2 Push/Pull Tones (Pure Bypass/Phase) & Toggle Switch It will be shipped in a hard case.
