For Sale: 2011 Gibson Chad Kroeger Blackwater Les Paul – Trans Black

Includes Original Hard-Shell Case

This 2011 Gibson Chad Kroeger Blackwater Les Paul is a rare and highly versatile instrument that merges the legendary Les Paul tone with acoustic-like versatility. Designed in collaboration with Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, this guitar is loaded with features that set it apart from a standard Les Paul.

While it maintains the classic single-cutaway Les Paul Standard aesthetic, it offers expanded sonic capabilities thanks to its GraphTech Ghost piezo bridge pickup. This allows for authentic acoustic tones that can be played independently, blended with the humbuckers, or routed through separate amplifiers for dual-output flexibility.
