About This Listing

Uncirculated 1975 Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty from the original owner.

Ebony fingerboard, mother of pearl inlays, mahogany body with a maple top. Three piece maple neck with original waffle-back tuners.

Twin gold covered humbucker pickups with original electronics.

This guitar was purchased in Western Australia in early 1976 from Prince St Music in Busselton. It suffered a minor headstock crack which appears as a tiny slit running 1cm from and near parallel with the binding of the zero and first fret on the low E side. The repair was carried out by Kevin Nitrovane and is near on perfect.

Original case with green velvet lining.

Product Overview
While made during one of the company's most controversial eras when many players saw a sacrifice of quality for profit margins, the Gibson Les Paul Customs of the Norlin Era can be diamond-in-the-rough finds for players with a keen eye. In particular, if you're looking for iconic LP growl with the workhorse construction that made these guitars a legend in the first place, many guitarists and luthiers alike point to the late '70s/early '80s models as capstones of the era.
