Vintage Guitar Source

Info:  Up for auction is a beautiful 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom in desirable Tobacco Sunburst. Everyting is original on the guitar from the pots to the pickups to the hardware. NO breaks, NO cracks, NO repairs – just an excellent example of a late 70′s Gibson tone monster. Both pickups have tremendous output and sound incredible. Sustain forever on this solid 1 piece mahogany body and 3 piece maple top.  I actually had to convince myself that this was a 3 piece top as the pieces are so well matched it looks like a 1 piece top.  Really rare for gibson to be that careful on tops from that period.  Someone must have had a “Good Night” the night before this top was selected – it is that well done. The weight on this guitar is probably close to 11 lbs.
Only detractions on this guitar are:

Normal play-wear on the side of the neck
Two areas on the back of the neck where the finish has worn most likely from leaning against something (like a guitar stand) for a period of time
Other than those 2 issues this guitar looks like it left the showroom only a few years ago. The finish on the hardware is in way better shape then 95% of other LP Customs from the late 70′s and there is NO buckle rash, and only minor worming on the back. Maybe 1 or 2 small dings but you would have to look hard to notice.  The headstock is by far the cleanest one I have ever seen on a vintage 70′s LP custom and I have owned many! Great buy it now price and low reserve so jump on this while you can!
Check my feedback.  I have sold many high-end guitars on eBay with 100% customer satisfaction.  And unlike many other dealers I have no problem shipping to our European friends, just email me before bidding so I can send you additional terms and extra shipping costs.

I don’t want to solicit outside of this auction, but the guitar is for sale that way anyway.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  … Click For More Info
