Gibson / Les Paul Custom / 1969 / Black / Guitar
|
So – This 1969 Les Paul Custom is the 4th guitar I’ve found in the last 4 months that has basically never been out of the house, has never really been played,and is an original owner guitar.
Like the owner of the Guild Starfire 3, mid-sixties Special Order Sunburst we have listed (who had to wait a year to have the factory sunburst it) this Les Paul Custom owner found his guitar so beautiful he didn’t want to scratch it up!
This ’69 Black Custom has less wear than a branny new guitar hanging in a Guitar Center for a week! I mean, it’s ‘As New’!
Three piece mahogany neck, long tenon, no volute, only 9.3 pounds, light for a late 60′s Les Paul, this is the one to play and display. Want to take it out and beat it to death? Buy a beater or a re-fin. I sorta wish the damn thing didn’t sound and play so well, even with it’s ‘ Fretless Wonder’ frets ( original, of course)…good late 60′s Les Pauls are massive sounding guitars – funny how we all jumped on the replacement pickup bandwagon back in the late 70′s, early 80′s…. Whether it’s just built right with good wood or the fact that its been aging for a lot of years – guitar sounds fantastic….
You’re gonna want to play it – how often to you get to break in a 44 year old guitar? With its original, lovely case…. 12k for a no stories, AS NEW 1969 Les Paul Custom.
Chelsea Guitars, USA 
If you love old, classic guitars you owe it to yourself to check this place out. The place is tiny; basically what you see in the display window is most of what they got. Go inside and it's like dropping in to a friend's apartment, albeit a tiny apt. But it's cool; Dan and whoever else is there are just hanging out. If you need help, they're glad to do it but if you just want to hang, they'll give you space. They let me put a lot of time in with the guitar that I eventually bought and also let me play an incredibly expensive guitar just so I could see what it felt like.
But what I really like is that they're just regular, no BS kinda people who obviously love old guitars for their character. Some of what they've got is collector-level expensive but I bought an awesome Japanese tele copy at a really reasonable price. So whatever
