Description

A beautiful and sought after Les Paul Artisan! Second only to "The Les Paul" in Gibson's lineup at its time of release in the late '70s; the Artisan being much more popular. It has some dings/scratches throughout and some buckle indentions on the back but it plays great on its fretless wonder neck with nice low action. It also has a replaced gold switch tip that adds to its luxurious aesthetic. The guitar sounds great too with its original tarback pickups reading in the mid teens, output wise, so it is ready to rock!

Includes its original hard shell case.

*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.
