1979 Gibson Les Paul Standard - Natural

A great player-grade 1979 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Natural finish, complete with hard case.

This is a proper vintage workhorse with plenty of life left in it. Previously owned and regularly gigged by its former owner, this Les Paul has clearly been played and enjoyed as intended over the years, giving it all the character and feel you would hope to find in a well-loved late-70s Gibson.

Finished in Natural, the guitar shows honest cosmetic wear throughout consistent with decades of use, including various marks, dings, and age-related wear. It presents as a genuine player’s instrument rather than a collector-grade example.

At some stage in its life, the guitar has been professionally refretted, making it an excellent practical choice for players wanting vintage Gibson tone and feel without the limitations often found on heavily worn original frets. Our workshop has also recently carried out a full service, professional setup, and fret dress, and the frets retain plenty of life.

Weighing 4.7kg / 10.36lbs, this guitar has the substantial feel many players specifically look for in a late-70s Les Paul, offering excellent sustain, resonance, and the solid construction these Norlin-era instruments are known for.

Tonally, this guitar delivers everything expected from a strong late-70s Les Paul Standard, with excellent sustain, tight low end, focused mids, and articulate top-end response. The guitar feels lively and resonant, with plenty of acoustic character even before plugging in.

The neck has a comfortable substantial profile, and the guitar plays cleanly across the fingerboard following workshop setup.
