2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded

Some time ago i bought this 2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded and it´s one of the best sounding Les Pauls i´ve ever had including some Reissues. For some reason it also feels more old and vintage than any of the Reissues i´ve had. It´s like in mint condition since the seller was a guitar collector and didn´t play it. He only had it for display with other guitars. I had to do some adjustments like adjusting the Truss Rod since he had like 0.9 string

didn't know about his model.
nice top with binding ?
Faded ?
Yes it’s like a normal Standard with binding but with a pale color. It also got that plastic input jack like the Reissues. I prefer the metal ones they don’t break that easily.

Hello all!
New member here. I am posting because I have this exact guitar. A 2005 faded burst. I purchased in back in 2005, and played it live a handful of times back in '05 and '06. Due to many reasons, I am debating selling it. It is in excellent shape except for one decent sized scratch on the back. My buddy that manages a GC in Arizona told me to ask $2,000 for it. I was wondering if anyone here can tell me what they paid for theirs....
Thanks everyone for letting me in your wonderful forum!
