A well played 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom, wine red color. This Les Paul Custom has a very cool relic look, while being structurally sound. The relicing is 100% absolutely natural. The reason it looks like that is that it's been played a lot, the reason it's been played a lot is because its sounds and plays great, as simple as that.
This guitar is all stock but for a pro refret. There is plenty of life in the new frets.
Minor cosmetic flaws that do not affect the playability at all: - Small part of the headstock binding gone but easily and cheaply fixed - Natural worn out due to playing on the back of the body and neck
Apart from the above the guitar is perfect and plays more than great! For any questions don't hesitate to message me. Thanks!!
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.
