The Les Paul Recording stands apart from nearly every other Gibson of the 1970s, designed with an extensive array of onboard controls and low-impedance pickups that reflected the company's willingness to explore new ideas. Finished in Alpine White, this 1976 example has been exceptionally well preserved, with a level of condition that is rarely encountered on a model of this age. The finish remains remarkably clean, and the hardware and plastics have retained their appearance with only minimal signs of handling, making it clear the guitar has been carefully cared for throughout its life. Its distinctive electronics—including impedance selection, phase switching, and tone-shaping controls—offer a glimpse into one of Gibson's more ambitious chapters while remaining housed in the familiar Les Paul silhouette. This is an unusually clean example of the Les Paul Recording, offering a chance to experience one of the company's most distinctive designs in outstanding original condition.Includes OHSC (Vintage Gibson strap and other case candy included).
