Anyone know why the fretboard is so light in color on this ZW edition Gibson ?

Maple fretboard.

I had one of the cream and black bull's eyes for a while. Not sure if these camo editions are like those, but if they are the neck is going to be baseball bat thick.
 
You could always check with the Lester freeks on Da Gear page.
The would probably point out the pickup height adjustment screws have been used and the strings are not legit.

LOL :hys:

Anyway,congrats if you do the deal.
Thats a hellofa trade in your favor.
Just dont put it on Reverb and price gouge the shit out of it.:gethim:
 
Big thanks everyone for help! The neck is thick and round, but comfortable for me. I have Edwards LP custom, that has thicker neck than Esp Ltd ec-1000, but this one is definitely fatter than Edwards. That maple feels really solid and hard. Never had anything like it.

I guess that LP is already mine guys! I added some speakers that I wanted to sell, some cheap kramer baretta special that I bought for 150eu few years ago and torpedo captor for the deal. I'm not using all of that stuff so I'm happy that I could get rid of it. Will have to do deep cleaning of the guitar and fix some minor things. Overall I'm very happy, two days ago I couldn't think about anything like this happening to me. Maybe I'll post some video of that guitar later on!
 
Wow man, always wanted one of those, love the maple fretboard. They where always out of reach. So finally in 2012, i grabbed this one, brand new.

Always loved a maple board LPC. Soooo sexy. And mine has the 60's slim taper neck carve, sooo comfortable.

Enjoy that one man.

Wow, yours looks amazing! Maple fits that blue very well. I never thought about having Les Paul with maple fretboard, but just couldn't resist an offer. It's heavy, but the sound is great, feels very solid in hands. Much more solid than all LP standards and few Customs that I held before.
 
That camo looks legit to me too... the guitar should be heavy as fuk too when you pick it up
 
I have this which is basically the same w/o the graphics. Congrats man, you’re gonna love it!

I was reading about unfinished maple fretboard cleaning and it seems very divided. Mine is very greasy, dude didn't clean it at all probably. I found out that I shouldn't use any oils, some people say that sand paper is the best. What would be the recommendations?

you could simply use glass cleaner, a sponge, and a toothbrush for the sides of the frets. That would be the most harmless IMHO. I wouldn't apply sand paper on a Gibson fretboard with big square inlays. From your pic, the fretboard doesn't look dirty at all.
