Ok so I still want to try and sell my Les Paul Axcess Custom. I never play it and there's no point in hanging onto material possessions for the sake of it. This is an extremely rare guitar. Only a limited run of Axcess Custom models were made in each finish. Ideally cash upon collection from here in Reading! Sensible offers only please.
