Here’s a stunning and increasingly hard-to-find 2005 Gibson Les Paul Santa Fe, complete with its original hardcase. These limited-run models are known for their desert-inspired finishes, premium specs, and top-end feel — and this one is a particularly clean example.
It’s in excellent condition for its age, showing only light surface swirls in the clear coat and some natural tarnishing on the nickel hardware. Nothing stands out or distracts — just the gentle ageing you’d expect from a well-kept 19-year-old Gibson.
The ebony fretboard is a real standout: dark, smooth, and beautifully finished, with frets showing hardly any wear. Under the hood you’ve got factory Burstbucker Pro pickups, delivering that classic mix of sweetness, bite and clarity these mid-2000s LP Standards were known for.
At 10.36lbs, it’s a solid, sustaining Les Paul with plenty of punch and authority. Plays beautifully, sounds huge, and feels every bit the quality limited-run model it is.
Comes with its original Gibson hardcase.

It’s in excellent condition for its age, with only light surface swirls in the finish and some natural tarnishing to the hardware. The frets show very little wear, the ebony board is clean and beautifully dark, and there are no major dings, chips or damage anywhere on the guitar. A very well-preserved 2005 Les Paul from a desirable limited series.
