1960 Gibson Les Paul Custom, affectionately known as the "Black Beauty." This example is in very good condition and plays effortlessly thanks to a professional refret. The neck features an early ’60s carve that leans toward the coveted ’59 profile—full but not bulky, with a slim shoulder that makes it exceptionally comfortable in hand. The original PAF pickups are stellar, with all three retaining their stickers and untouched cover solder. The control cavity is completely untouched, with original pots, caps, wiring, and factory solder joints intact. Tonally, this guitar is everything you'd hope for—rich, articulate, and endlessly inspiring. It’s had some minor, routine work over the years (see Specs for details), but nothing that takes away from its vintage integrity. Includes the original black Gibson Les Paul Custom case with yellow lining.
