1971 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty.
Cosmetically this 46 year old vintage classic does have the odd ding, dent and buckle rash accompanied by the usual time honoured patina of the gold hardware.
Mahogany neck and body, ebony fretboard, mother of pearl inlays, ABR-1 bridge, patent sticker pickups. Action is typically low easy and fast, player comfort at it's best.
The binding is in good condition and has gracefully aged.
