Regular price
$4,699.99
Vintage Gibson Les Paul Custom in Ebony finish made in 1978 with Original Hard Shell Case. This guitar features a double bound solid mahogany body with a maple top, mahogany neck and bound ebony fingerboard with a bound headstock. Equipped with its original pair of Gibson "Pat No" humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Controlled by 2 volume pots, 2 tone pots and a 3-Way toggle switch comprised of its original CTS pots dating to the 16th week of 1978. The 24.75" scale length neck has mother of pearl block inlays and black side markers with 22 medium jumbo frets on a 12" radius with a slim taper profile. The hardware is comprised of gold Gibson sealed diecast tuning machines with keystone heads, a corian nut, a Gibson Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and top hat reflector knobs with a 5 ply black on white pickguard.
This guitar is in overall very good condition. The nut was replaced at some point in its life. The case is missing two latches but still holds closed. The headstock has some dents on the tip and light surface marks on the front and back. The tuners/pickups/bridge all show finish pitting & signs of age. There are a few light surface marks on the neck. The back of the body has belt rash and some dings. The front of the body has a dent on the bass side near the bridge. The binding also has discoloration and small chips. (See pics)
Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-46 strings. Includes Original Hard Shell Case.
