About the Gothic series
The Les Paul Gothic models were produced in limited numbers in the late 1990s / early 2000s and are now cult classics.
They feature:
- Dark, minimalist aesthetics
- Single crescent moon inlay (unique to the Gothic line)
- Satin black finish
- Hotter pickups than standard Studios
These guitars are appreciated for their raw tone, lighter feel compared to full Standard models, and their unmistakable early-2000s Gibson character.
Reason for sale
I haven't played it properly in a long time, so it should go to someone who will use it.
