Up for sale is a 1970 Gibson Les Paul Custom in great condition for its 56 years. This is a true vintage Norlin-era Custom that has been tastefully modified to capture the iconic look and vibe of Ace Frehley’s legendary “Black Beauty.”

3 × DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups

“Milk Bottle” Grover tuners

This guitar delivers the thick, aggressive output and sustain that made the three–pickup Les Paul Custom famous on arena stages in the ‘70s. The DiMarzio Super Distortions provide powerful midrange punch, harmonics, and classic hard rock tones.

Condition is very good for its age. It shows honest vintage wear consistent with a well-cared-for 56-year-old instrument, but nothing excessive or abusive. Frets, neck, and electronics are all in solid working order. It plays and sounds fantastic.

If you’re a KISS fan, a vintage Gibson collector, or a player looking for a stage-ready rock machine with serious presence, this one checks the boxes.

Feel free to message with any questions or for additional photos.
