1974 Gibson LES PAUL CUSTOM Ebony, Very Good, Hard, $3,700.00

Offered for sale;

Used 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom serial number 171900. This guitar is in very good condition.

The frets on this Custom are not the “fretless wonder” low profile but they are small. A bit less than half way between fretless wonder and jumbo.

Here’s the story on this Les Paul. There was a fire. The fire damaged the case at the headstock end. It slightly bubbled the finish on the back of the headstock. Thus the 5 little circles near the serial number (see photos).
The other story is a mouse nibbled about 1” of the binding on the back treble side (see photo).

If you don’t need jumbo frets this is one badass Les Paul. It is why Les Paul Customs have the reputation they have.

Hard shell case included, non-original but period correct.
