This 1972 Gibson Les Paul Custom captures the classic "Black Beauty" vibe with its carved maple top, mahogany body, and ebony fingerboard. Upgraded with a set of DiMarzio humbuckers, it delivers thick, punchy tones and smooth sustain. Gold hardware and the split-diamond headstock inlay complete the vintage look. A solid player-grade example from the Norlin era—see the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes the original hardshell case, with all but one hinge broken.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
