For sale is this very well made left handed Les Paul copy by English maker, John Wesley.
Finished in Cherry Red, this guitar has been professionally setup and restrung with D'addario 10-46s.
Apart from a couple of chips and surface marks, the condition is very good. Hardly been used with no fret or fretboard wear. All electronics have been cleaned and checked.
