About This Listing

Featured in the video is a 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom 25/50 Anniversary Model, a rare gem in the captivating Wine Red finish, complete with its original case. This guitar, while displaying signs of use, remains in good condition and operates flawlessly. You'll notice some scratches, dings, and two cracks on the maple top between the knobs. It's crucial to mention that these cracks are limited to the thin maple top and do not impact the guitar's playability. Taking everything into account, I would confidently rate its condition at a commendable 7.5 out of 10.

With the exception of the bridge pickup, all components on the guitar are original. The neck exhibits a perfect alignment, ensuring an excellent playing experience. The original frets are in superb condition, showing only minimal wear. Following a thorough setup, there's no issue with buzzing or dead spots. It's worth noting that this guitar bears a factory "SECOND" stamp on the back of the headstock, a practice that was relatively common in the late 70s when Gibson faced some challenges and offered slightly flawed guitars at a discounted price.

The original case functions splendidly and remains in very good condition, exhibiting only minor wear. For an in-depth visual inspection of its condition, I recommend referring to the accompanying video. Enjoy the showcase!
