Listing my beautiful Lemonburst Gary Moore LP Standard FSOT. It's a great feeling and playing guitar with the most beautiful chevron flamed book matched top I've seen on any Gary Moore LP. It really is a nearly R9 worthy top.I just haven't bonded with the neck or guitar in general; though it's due to no fault of the guitar. The R7 I bought shortly after buying this gets all of my playing time and this guitar deserves to be played and loved, not hanging on the wall. It's a special instrument that will make someone very happy.
Sale price for SDUGF members (was $1999) now $1800 plus actual shipping only. These normally sell for around $2300-$2400, but I'm motivated to trade or sell. Reverb add below if you prefer to buy that way.

Details:
Weight - 9lbs on the nose according to my digital bathroom scale
Neck - 50's profile. Not super thick but not thin either. Approx .9 at first and 1.0 at 12th. I can take exact measurements when my wife is back from her crafting weekend with her friends (digital caliper).
Pickups - Burstbucker Pro (stock pickups)
Tone Pro's locking tailpiece
Brown Gibson Case w/Gary Moore Signature
*One piece back as far as I can tell, nice straight grain pattern. There's even a bit of flame in the mahogany on the upper left hand side of the back.
Upgraded the following:
- Gibson non wire ABR-1 (orig Tone Pro's locking Nashville and org studs included). I used Callaham conversion studs and bridge originally, but the Callaham bridge was way too bright. The Gibson ABR is just right.
- Kluson Locking Tuners (Orig non locking Klusons included, hole diameter not altered and same footprint as originals)
- Upgraded Tone Man wiring kit installed. I put the orange drops back in as many people want that feature on this guitar. (will include original pots)
- Schaller Strap Lock Buttons (will include original buttons and can send the strap portion if needed as well)
This guitar plays very smoothly and has a great natural tone; very resonant and lively both acoustically and plugged in. It's got great bite and cut with plenty of warm mids and nice bottom end. Overall well balanced tone with just the right bite to it. The neck feels great. I don't have large hands and I can play it fine, but I prefer a smaller neck honestly. I was pleasantly surprised by the BB Pro's in this guitar.
The only visible condition issue is a ding on the lower right hand side of the back. It's not through the finish. I have no idea how I did it. It didn't photograph in my outside pics, but I'll get a better indoor shot up. Other than that, there are just a few typical swirl marks in the finish and maybe a few light pick scratches. Nothing that wouldn't polish out with some Maguires. I didn't notice until I went to replace the orange drops, but my tech put a couple of burn marks from the soldering iron on one cavity wall. Of course you can't see them with the cover on, but I want to fully disclose.
I think that about covers it. Hit me up with any questions.
