I startet to offer this guitar about 2 years ago but then stopped it a few weeks later cause I could not let her go because of the fantastic sound AND playability. But now I need the money for a new project. So here we go …



I sell my Gibson les Paul Custom 1973, Cherry Sunburst in great condition and sounding killer!

It has some dings and dongs here and there, some buckle marks in the back as you may imagine with 50 years of age, but no repairs at all, no cracks or structural damages just cosmetic things.

In some point the tuners were changed to Grover but the original ones are back.

The previous owner told me he installed a Nashville bridge to the guitar 30 years ago because it was the easiest option to change the original ABR bridge that was damaged, but when I bought it, I changed it back to ABR-1 original Gibson vintage NOS bridge, which is the one that has installed (much better quality), however I include in the case all parts changed that came with the guitar (bridge and tailpiece).

It was professionally refretted and the nut was changed at same time. This Paula has a very nice neck, which is not too thin and not too fat - just perfect!

It has T-Tops pickups, one with "Pat Pending" sticker and the bridge one with "Pat Numbers" stamped and a 1972 date.

One Volume Pot stopped working and it was changed for a new high quality CTS Pot, but the original 1973 is included in the case (maybe cleaning it up could make it work again).

Serial number 114269

Guitar weighs 4,42kg

Comes with the original Gibson period correct hardshell case.
