Revised Price: Instead of going back and forth with offers and counter offers I thought it would just be easier to lower the price to the absolute rock bottom amount I would accept. I hope this guitar finds a good home because it is really cool and needs to be played! Can you give her the home she deserves?!
Up for sale is a iconic 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom in a classic Tobacco Sunburst finish. Loaded with its original T-Top humbuckers and original factory wiring harness, this late-70s Norlin-era beast delivers the thick, articulate tone and endless sustain that made this era famous.
Highlights & Condition Overview
- 100% Structural Integrity: No headstock breaks, no neck repairs, and no wood cracks anywhere.
- Original Electronics: Features the highly sought-after original Gibson T-Top humbuckers and untouched 1979 pots. (Note: Slight scratchiness on the neck volume pot that a quick spritz of DeoxIT will clear up).
- Original Frets: Fitted with original factory frets that still have plenty of life left and play great across the board.
- Restored Aesthetics: Restored back to original factory appearance with black pickguard, black poker chip, and vintage-style control knobs (replacing aftermarket cream/gold plastics installed by a previous owner).
- Cosmetics: Honest vintage player wear for a 47-year-old instrument—includes belt worming on the back, expected minor chips/dings along the edges, and typical nitrocellulose finish checking/flaking around the neck heel.
Upgrades & Included Parts
- Brass Nut: Upgraded with an era-correct brass nut for added sustain and crisp open-string attack.
- Strap Locks: Upgraded strap buttons installed; original factory strap buttons are included in the case.
- Original Case: Ships in its original Gibson black hardshell case with plush interior.
