  • Description: EC - an elegant beauty. 1974 was a milestone year for Les Paul Custom as it was the first year Gibson gave up on the "fretless wonder" frets that had always been the biggest complaint from players. The low-profile frets were gone in 1974, replaced by the same style found on the Les Paul Standard. 38 years old now, the guitar is clean, with a nice patina. Very light play wear, with little checking or gold wear. The neck pickup output is 7.61 with the bridge a little hotter but nicely balanced at 7.75k. All-original save for one pot, with original patent sticker pickups and waffle-back pickups. 9.5 pounds, set up well and plays great. A cult classic as it's first year of issue for the big-fret Customs. With original hard case. Go to www.williesguitars.com for more photos.
