1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black
Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this vintage Les Paul is dialed in and ready for some rock and roll or whatever you want to throw at it. In Good vintage condition with normal wear and tear for an instrument of this age, including dings, nicks, scratches, and considerable wear to the finish and hardware. Some finish loss on the back of the neck and a consistent patina of wear and aging on the instrument as a whole. If you zoom in on the photos you'll see what we mean.
Overall the instrument presents well as a vintage guitar that's obviously been someone's number one stage partner for many years. We've got a lot of lovely brand new Les Pauls and beautifully "aged" Murphy Lab models for sale if you prefer, but we have a soft spot for vintage gear that has earned its wear honestly. Comes with a newer TKL hard shell case. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage products as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
