This is a JAW DROPPING totally near MINT and 100% original - MEGA RARE 1975 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe finished in GOLD Sparkle with original purple lined hard shell case. You do not come across these as clean as this every day and I would not be surprised if it was the finest example of this rarest Les Paul Deluxe on the planet.

Insanely rare, only ever rumoured to exist (just like the Gibson Moderne). Near MINT condition, just some clear coat worming on the back and 2 very small dings on the front, neither of which have gone through to the wood. 100% original in every way including near perfect original frets. Kalamazoo made with desirable mahogany neck and Pat Number ABR-1 bridge. All original electrics and fully intact, undisturbed solder, pots I can read have date code of 34th week of 1974, serial number is 514749. 2 x pat number Gibson original mini humbuckers.

Recently prised from the hands of a guitar store owners personal collection after months of negotiations (he didn’t want to sell it, he’s had it for the last 20 years) and a flight to mainland Europe with a suitcase full of cash. The ultimate mid 70’s sparkle top and probably the finest example of this guitar on the planet. See my blog here

Plays like new, no buzzing, low, fast action and dead straight neck. Has period correct, probably original case with black covering, purple lining and what looks like a band name stencilled on it which is covered up by an old Aerosmith sticker… Hmmmm I wonder…

No issues, no excuses, fully checked out, black lighted and cast iron guarantee that this is the real deal and is one of the rarest guitars you will ever come across. Blue and Red sparkles are rare enough, try to find a GOLD sparkle from 1974.

Yes, it is not cheap but as the saying goes ‘find another'. Life it too short for boring pension investments, have fun, enjoy it and when you cash in, I bet you will be thanking the day you saw this page.
