This Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition Dale Earnhardt Les Paul is in excellent condition. It was played several times by its previous owner, and has some very slight worming on the back, and a small chip in the graphite pick guard.

From the former Gibson webpage on this guitar: It is hand-crafted from the finest mahogany, chrome, and ebony and features Sam Bass' illustrations of The Man in Black, the famous No. 3 GM Goodwrench Service Chevrolet as well as Dale Earnhardt's signature on the fretboard. True racing details include carbon-fiber full face pickguard, "lug nut" tone and volume controls, hood pin strap buttons, and a real Simpson Racing restraint guitar strap.

This is an extremely hard to find guitar, especially in this condition. There were only 333 made in this First Edition (this one is #54). This has been stored in its case in my climate controlled, smoke-free music room since I bought it (I did plug it in and played it for about 10 minutes to check it out when I received it).

Includes original hardshell Gibson Custom Shop case. The case has a few very minor scuffs (tried to show in the pictures), and is in excellent condition. Also includes the Gibson Warranty Card (never filled out), truss rod tool, and guitar case key.

SPECS:
Solid mahogany body and neck
Ebony fingerboard with Dale Earnhardt signature inlay
Black binding on body
Carbon fiber full-face pickguard
Chrome hardware
Two chrome Humbucking pickups
Two chrome "lug nut" volume and tone controls
Hood pin strap buttons
Simpson Racing restraint guitar strap
 
thats a fun site, huh?

I spend way too much time there. I bought a wah off it, but I'm still waiting for it to ship. Both my fuzzes came from there and I sold my Ron Asheton on it too. No luck on lap steel and BC Rich yet. :(
 
This kind of thing is why I am so happy I moved hundreds of miles north of the Mason-Dixon line.
