Gibson / Les Paul Custom / 1974 / Alpine White / Guitar
|
This is an 99% original 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom 20th Anniversary in the most desirable colour - alpine white and this one is in the even more desirable faded alpine, ambrosia custard white... A true punk rock monster...
The only issue is the neck pickup ring has been replaced, probably due to cracking. This is a very easy and inexpensive part to find and restore if it bothers you. The knobs may have been replaced as usually you see witch-hat knobs, but these are early 70's Gibson speed knobs (they black light perfectly) and in 1974 Gibson were equipping their guitars with these knobs on models like the SG and the 54 RI Les Paul Customs.
What is nice is this one has not been re-fretted and still has the lovely low profile frets and the all original finish has turned that very fetching shade of custard so loved by all the great LPC guitar gods out there. Original waffle backs too - it has not been Grovered.
2 x all original stonking PAT Number sticker, humbuckers sound excellent with lots of clarity and bite. Weight is a nice for the period, 4,5Kg and case is slightly later Gibson Les Paul case (early 80's).
Action is lovely, balance is superb and guitar plays extremely well.
Not often you find these 1974 Les Paul Customs in unbroken, largely unmolested condition and in the most desirable colour so grab it while you can, just in time to thrash away at those Xmas ditties...
