This 1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom shows honest player and age related wear, giving it a broken-in feel that suits its history and makes it immediately comfortable in the hands. Built during a period where Gibson focused on solid construction and durability, it has a substantial feel with strong midrange presence and long sustain that rewards confident playing.
It is fitted with a Seymour Duncan SH-11 pickup in the bridge position for added output and clarity, while the original neck pickup remains in place for warm, classic Les Paul tones. Two pots have been replaced, and there is a vertical crack to the headstock, all disclosed accordingly, placing the guitar firmly in player-grade territory and making it particularly well suited to a player intending to actively use it rather than keep it case bound.
Finished in Ebony with gold hardware, it remains a practical and inspiring vintage Les Paul Custom intended to be played rather than preserved. It comes supplied with a non-original but modern Gibson hard shell case.
