2018 Gibson Gold Top has upgraded locking tuners, tulip buttons, originals included in case. All case candy as shown. There are surface scratches on the back but they are not into the wood, and only into the clear coat, and could likely be buffed out if needed to be.  There is a small ding under the picguard but it can not be seen unless you remove the pickguard. The frets are excellent with no visible wear. This instrument sounds amazing.  This Les Paul Classic feels fast and precise thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you’re likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.
