1974 Gibson Les Paul Signature Bass Gold Top
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This 1974 Gibson Les Paul Signature bass is a rare find, particularly in amazingly clean condition like this one.
The bass is all original with the exception of one screw on the D string tuner. There is a small crack in the tone selector ring. Otherwise, there are only light signs of use.
The original hard case is in similarly clean condition.
The 1974 Gibson Les Paul Signature Bass is a unique and often overlooked chapter in Gibson's bass guitar history. Introduced in the early 1970s, the Les Paul Signature Bass was part of a short-lived series of instruments designed with direct input from Les Paul himself. Unlike the solidbody Les Paul models, this bass featured a semi-hollow body design, tailored for warmth, articulation, and tonal complexity.
Gibson made a total of 674 Les Paul Signature basses, including 428 in 1974.
