MOUNT LAWLEY, Australia
About this listing
Pre-owned in very good condition, here we have a rare 1977 Gibson Les Paul "Pro Deluxe" in ebony.
A highly collectible 1970's model - these shared features from both the Les Paul Custom and Les Paul Standard, and at the time were priced above the LP Standard in the Gibson range.
It features plenty of genuine playing wear, in some areas revealing the wood underneath. This guitar has been well used, but not abused. Considering the play wear, there are very few dings and chips to speak of (none serious). There are no breaks or repairs. The ebony finish still retains a nice deep luster, and the guitar presents very well overall. Vintage guitar lovers will appreciate the patina that only comes through decades of playing.
