1992 Gibson Custom Shop "Pre-Historic" '57 Les Paul Custom Reissue

* additional pictures will be provided later today.

You are probably aware of the collectibility of these Gibson Pre-Historic Les Paul Custom guitars.  This is a beautiful example of a Pre-Historic 57 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty.  As expected with a guitar of this age, there are some minor dings and blemish marks on the guitar.  There is an old neck repair that was done with great care and the repaired area is not noticeable.  There are some areas with nice, subtle natural lacquer checking.  Overall, this is a great looking and playing Black Beauty Les Paul. The Pre-Historic Gibson Les Paul's are also known as "Gibson Historic Collection" guitars.
