Up for sale is a stunning, 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom in factory Wine Red finish with gold hardware.

This guitar is a true one-owner instrument that has spent the vast majority of its 45+ year life tucked safely away in its original hardshell case. Finding a late-70s Norlin-era Custom in this preserved state is getting exceptionally rare.

Condition & Details:

 Body & Finish: Excellent condition. Gorgeous original Wine Red finish with virtually no visible scratches or dings. The top is clean, the back is free of severe buckle rash, and the multi-ply binding has aged into a beautiful vintage cream tone.

 Neck & Fretboard: Straight, rock-solid neck with comfortable action and classic block inlays. No headstock cracks, breaks, or repairs of any kind.

 Hardware & Pickups: All original gold hardware. Shows clean and bright overall with only minor, natural cosmetic age wear on the gold plating of the neck humbucker cover.

 Electronics: Fully functional original electronics and T-Top humbuckers delivering that rich, resonant sustain and bite signature to late-70s Customs.

 Case: Includes the original vintage Gibson hardshell case.

This is an incredible collector-grade time capsule and an outstanding investment piece for any player or Gibson enthusiast looking for an ultra-clean late '70s Custom.

Packed with extreme care, fully insured via Reverb Safe Shipping, and shipped promptly with signature required upon delivery
