With its elegant lines and Ebony/Pearl/Gold aesthetic, the Les Paul Custom is easily one of the most iconic and beautiful guitars ever made. It features a body carved out of solid mahogany. The resulting dark mid-range tone from the body pairs perfectly with its bright-sounding solid ebony fingerboard, inlaid with pearl blocks. All together, it is a pinnacle of guitar craftsmanship, design and tone.
A current favorite, this example has vintage vibes all over it. It is in fairly original condition considering its age. Repairs include: Overspray on the back of the neck, damage in bridge pickup cavity from pickup pole pieces being over-tightened, a non original switch tip, small crack in neck pickup cover, and the jack was previously grounded to the bridge tone control.
Comes with its original black hard shell Gibson case with yellow interior.
