Info:  THIS 1970 GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM IS ALL ORIGINAL, EVERY PART!! IT IS AMAZING CHERRY (MAPLE TOP OVER MOHAGANY) NECK INTO BODY WITH ALL GOLD PLATED ( NICELY WORN) HARDWARE AND BLACK ACCENTS. THE TRIM IS IVORY WITH TRIPPPLE BLACK STRIPES(HARD TO SEE IN THE PICTURES).THERE IS ONLY ONE PART MISSING AND THAT IS THE PLASTIC 3 WAY TOGGLE SWITCH SCREW ON. I HAVE AN UNORIGINAL PART TO GO WITH IT BUT I CHOSE NOT TO SHOW IT WITH THE PICTURES. THIS GUITAR HAS BEEN AROUND THE WORLD ON MANY TOURS AND DOES SHOWS THE WEAR AND TEAR. BY NO MEANS WILL I CLAIM THIS GUITAR TO BE MINT. THERE ARE BUCKLE SCRATCHES, DINGS, DENTS, AND JUST A TINY BIT OF CRAZING IN THE GLOSS COAT. BLEMISHES ARE ON THE FRONT, SIDES, BACK, NECK, AND HEADSTOCK. THERE ARE A FEW EVER SO SLIGHTLY WORN OUT FRETS. HOWEVER DONT BE FOOLED! THIS IS A LOVE AFFAIR GUITAR, IT’S TONE IS UNBELEIVEABLE!!!!, IT PLAYS LIKE BUTTER, IT WILL INTONATE PERFECTLY, AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT A TEN TOP GUITAR, THE WOOD IT WAS MADE FROM WAS CHOSEN SPECIFICALLY FOR IT’S UNRIVALED NATURAL PERFECTION. YOU WOULD PAY MEGA BUCKS JUST TO HAVE GIBSON REMAKE THIS GUITAR WITH ALL ITS VISUAL IMPERFRECTIONS, AND IT WOULD STILL NEVER HOLD A CANDLE TO THIS CHERRY. IT WEIGHS 10.65 POUNDS AND FEELS SO GOOD TO HOLD. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL GIBSON GOLD PLATED (BUT AGAIN “NICELY WORN”) HUMBUCKERS. THESE PICKUPS DO NOT PRODUCE SUPER HIGH GAIN, HOWEVER, DO PROVIDE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HARMONICS AND DEPTHS THAT ANY LATE 60′S EARLY 70′S MODELS COULD EVER HOPE FOR. THERE IS ALSO THE ORIGINAL TUNE-O-MATIC BRIDGE, TAILPIECE,NUT, STRAP HOOKS,AND VERY ACCURATE SOLID COVERED TUNERS. IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL HARDSHELL CASE WITH MATCHING CHERRY VELVET!! WHY AM I SELLING IT? I NEED THE MONEY. WILL I SELL IT FOR LESS THAN MY RESERVE? NO WAY.! IN FACT IF YOU CANT AFFORD IT, I WONT SELL IT TO YOU. THIS GUITAR NEEDS TO BE IN LOVING HANDS THAT WILL APPRECIATE IT’S VALUE ,AND HOPEFULLY NEVER RESTORE OR MODIFY IT. ONE LUCKY BIDDER WILL ADD TO THEIR COLLECTION. QUESTIONS PLEASE..
