Description
Lovies Guitars is proud to present this 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom in a rich Wine Red finish! A true late-’70s classic, this Les Paul embodies the bold tone and heavy sustain that defined an era of rock. Featuring the legendary mahogany body and neck with an ebony fretboard, this Custom delivers the dark, powerful voice that made these models studio and stage staples.
This one has been hot-rodded for tone — the original pickups have been replaced with a killer set of DiMarzio Super Distortions, giving it a high-output, harmonically rich punch perfect for classic rock and metal. A new nut and strap buttons have been installed for improved reliability, while the rest of the guitar remains true to its vintage roots.
This beauty comes with its original hardshell case and is in 8.7/10 condition — showing honest wear from decades of play. There are light pickguard scratches, minor dings across the top, some buckle rash, and wear on the back of the neck, but no cracks, breaks, or repairs.
