Up for sale is a killer 1978 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Black, loaded with vintage vibe, serious tone, and effortless playability.


This late-’70s Les Paul delivers that unmistakable solid, punchy, sustain-for-days Gibson tone. The humbuckers sound thick and articulate with great clarity under gain and warm, woody cleans when you roll it back. It has that authoritative midrange presence that only a real vintage Les Paul can give you.


🔥 Playability


The neck is a super fast, slim late-’70s carve that honestly feels like it plays itself. It’s comfortable up and down the board and makes bends and fast runs effortless. Original frets still have plenty of life left and play cleanly.


🎸 Kahler Tremolo


A Kahler tremolo bridge has been professionally installed, giving you smooth vibrato capability while keeping tuning stability solid. If you're looking for a vintage Les Paul that can also handle expressive trem work, this one delivers.


🖤 Condition


This guitar shows honest cosmetic wear from over the decades — dings, surface scratches, and natural aging — giving it that killer road-worn vintage look players love. It has real character and feels alive in your hands.


No cracks or structural issues. Just a well-played, great-sounding late ’70s Gibson that’s ready for another lifetime of music.

Includes the original Gibson “chainsaw” case with red interior, a classic piece in its own right and highly collectible.
