A 1973 Gibson Les Paul Custom has just arrived!!

This is a 1973 model with serial number 127260 and pot date 1377320.

It features a pancake body construction with a maple top and mahogany body, sandwiched with a thin layer of maple. The wood materials include a 3-piece mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard. The Gibson logo on the headstock features a closed "o," and the absence of a dot on the "i" is one of the most distinctive characteristics of this era. The neck has a volute design and is stamped "Made in USA."

The neck joint is a short tenon. It is equipped with two sticker-numbered PAF (T-top) pickups. The pots are from 1973. Although the year is not visible on some of the pots, we have determined that they are all original. The capacitors are also original.

Replaced parts include the nut, frets, and some screws. While the tailpiece matches the era, there is a significant difference in color between it and the bridge, so it is possible that the tailpiece was sourced from a different instrument. Additionally, heat-shrink tubing has been wrapped around the lead wire of the rear pickup, but this does not currently pose any issues.

Regarding the condition, there are some dents and scratches, but the truss rod has plenty of adjustment left, and playability is good.

We hope you will consider this opportunity.
