Lovies Guitars is offering up this Vintage 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom in a Gorgeous Cherry Sunburst Finish! This guitar is everything an Awesome Les Paul Custom should be! This guitar has the typical Les Paul weight but is very well balanced, with mass that really adds to the tonal heft of the instrument. There’s a very dynamic quality to this instrument, with a clear and commanding sound that is evident even when strummed acoustically. This instrument responds instantly to changes in pick attack and is consistent with the tonal profile of the maple-necked later 70’s Les Pauls, there’s a certain snappiness and top end detail that comes from this era of production. The three-piece maple neck has a C-shaped profile that starts out notably slender at the nut yet grows substantially deeper as you move up the fretboard, filling the palm nicely with a generous and chunky shape from the 9th fret and beyond. The bound ebony fretboard has pearl block inlay and original fret wire that has lots of life left! The headstock sports all the hallmarks of a Les Paul Custom, with the split diamond inlay, “Custom” truss rod cover, multi-ply headstock binding, and Gibson stamped tuning machines with metal tulip buttons. This Axe is in Excellent Shape for being over 40 years old, however, there is some light hardware tarnish, a bit of pickguard wear, a couple minor finish marks on the top, a minor indent near the bridge, a fair bit of buckle wear on the back, some minor marks on the sides of the body, and a couple light marks on the headstock 9/10! All Original- NO Breaks, Cracks or Repairs! Includes an Original Gibson Chainsaw Case!!!!!!
