Up for auction is a 1978 CUSTOM GIBSON LES PAUL, "Black Beauty". Black with Gold Hardware, comes with it's original 'Chainsaw' case, and a DiMarzio clip-on strap.
This is a fantastic vintage instrument! I purchased this guitar from the original owner in 1996. He had bought it when his son was born and stored it for 18 years. When the son never took an interest he sold it to me in mint condition. I gigged and recorded with this guitar for about 3 years. When I switched back to an acoustic guitar, I put this one in storage.
This guitar contains all it's original parts, the only thing that's been replaced is one of the volume ('black speed') knobs. The electronics are untouched. It does show some normal signs of wear. There are some belt buckle/button scratches on the back of the guitar. There is one small area(smaller than a dime) on the back where the paint is chipped of. There is a small area(smaller than an eraser head) on the front of the guitar near the top where the paint is chipped off. There is a small chip in the front upper right corner of the headstock. The pickups have some oxidation. All this is visible in the photos. Overall, this Custom Les Paul is in great condition for a 32 year old instrument.
This guitar plays and sounds incredible. I just had it set up at Guitar Center. There is very little fretwear and the action is perfect. And the sound! Amazing tone and sustain! I really do hate to sell this baby, but I need the cash.
Once again this 1978 CUSTOM GIBSON LES PAUL, "Black Beauty" comes with it's original case and a clip-on strap. Good Luck!!!
