Gibson Les Paul Custom 20th Anniversary 1974 – Cherry Sunburst – Original T-Tops – Original Case

A beautiful and well-preserved 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom 20th Anniversary in Cherry Sunburst, complete with its original Gibson hardshell case.

Produced in 1974 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Les Paul Custom, this special model is instantly recognizable by the “TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY” inlay at the 15th fret.

This example has developed the unmistakable look of a genuine 50-year-old Gibson. The Cherry Sunburst finish has aged beautifully, while the naturally worn and faded gold hardware gives the guitar excellent vintage character.

Most importantly, the guitar has no breaks, no cracks, and no structural repairs.

Condition

The guitar is in very good vintage condition for its age and shows the normal signs of use expected from a 1974 instrument, including scratches, small dents, finish checking, and natural aging of the gold-plated hardware.

The neck is straight, the truss rod functions properly, and the guitar plays comfortably with good action.

The finish appears original.

The Gibson T-Top humbuckers are believed to be original to the guitar, and detailed photographs of the pickups, control cavity, potentiometers, solder joints, and electronics are included in the listing.

The output jack plate appears to have been replaced.

The guitar may have been professionally refretted at some point in its life. I cannot confirm this with certainty, so please refer to the detailed fret photographs for condition.

Detailed photographs of the control cavity, potentiometers, solder joints, pickups, hardware, finish, and other important areas are provided so buyers can carefully evaluate the guitar's originality and condition.

Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
