EPIPHONE ACE FREHLEY BUDOKAN Les Paul 2012 Super Clean Cond 06705

This is a beautiful 2012 Epiphone Ace Frehley limited edition Budokan Les Paul Custom guitar. There were only 1000 of these made worldwide. These are rare, especially in super clean condition like this. This is not the "lightning bolt" model, which is not as rare--this is the limited BUDOKAN model. This is near mint condition, with only one tiny mark on the headstock. These are absolutely beautiful guitars and don't come around often. Just look at all that beautiful binding around the body and neck--dark rich ebony fretboard--big pearloid neck and head inlays--sweet pearloid tuning keys...the list goes on. Grab for your collection now. Weight is 8 pounds, 9 ounces. NO CASE. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.)  I may end auction early if it sells elsewhere. Thanks for looking!

Guitar Setup
My setup on guitars includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. I spray out any pots that are noisy. I turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. I don't claim to be a trained luthier, but I'm able to set guitars/basses for a reasonable out-of-box experience and have had very few complaints. If you're looking for the perfect setup on a used guitar, please expect to take it to a trained luthier who is familiar with your individual playing style and preferences. ps: basses get the same setup minus the new strings. Thanks!

Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
