Gibson / Les Paul Custom / 1976 / Black / Guitar For Sale
Sometimes a black Les Paul Custom is all you need…
This guitar looks the part. Black is the quintessential Les Paul Custom colour and this one carries it well. There are minor bumps and knocks and the finish has dulled a little but overall it's in really great shape.
As with the body, the three piece maple neck shows moderate signs of use. The Ebony fretboard is in good shape as are the frets that have plenty of life left in them. The headstock is in good shape too.
The hardware is tarnished with some corrosion visible. This is to be expected and does not affect playability.
Electrically everything is correct and untouched, as you would expect of course. Pots date at week 53 of 1976, making this one of the very last guitars of that year with the oval '00' serial number.
The guitar comes with its correct Gibson hard-shell case.
Some are quick to discount Les Pauls from this period as blunt instruments, without some of the finesse of their predecessors. This guitar, though this does weigh in at a reasonable for the period 4.82kgs, is still as dynamic and possesses the tonal gravitas that you've come to expect. By no means a PAF loaded burst, this guitar has a tone all of its own that doesn’t disappoint.
Looks and tone to die for, what more could you want?
