This is a great playing and sounding Les Paul Custom from 1976–it’s all original with no damages repairs or mods–the Gibson logo case is also original and clean inside and worn but acceptable outside. The guitar is 43 years old and consequently has various nicks and buckle worming and scratches most of which can be seen in the scans–it was a very overcast day so the flash came on which exagerates blemishes –the guitar especially looks great from a few feet away–you can see that the hardware is in good shape–the headstock is in great shape–the ebony board is in great shape and the original frets have lots of life left on them–even the fret nibs are in good shape. Other than the mentioned nicks and scrapes there is some binding cracking in a few places but no loose binding at all–the finish is still shiny and the binding clean. The neck angle is perfect and the action is fast and does not fret out currently set at my preferences 3/32nds at the 12th fret e string–working truss rod.

Bought this from a well known Japanese blues and jazz player whose name is on the original case–case has no bad smells like tobacco smoke or mold and is clean inside and not bad outside with the original owner’s name on it. Around the place where the trapeze tail piece was there’s some dark discoloration on the binding which looks of all things like shoe polish–i’m guessing it’s interaction with a strap or cord but since it has no affect on anything i didn’t bother trying to remove it with alcohol or some other cleaning agent. The one thing to note is the headstock shown in the last scan–there’s a familiar slight partial separation at the top–you can see this–the wood is rock solid and it’s been this way for most of its life–my luthier wasn’t worried about it–i asked about filling or compressing it and he fiddled with it a bit and said it’s not going anywhere so leave it alone. The sound is superb–it’s been a blues guitar its entire life–a side story–i became friends with the original owner in Tokyo on Facebook and got some back story on the instrument–he bought a new guitar after almost 40 years–and have been able to hear him and his band play–they are awesome. No real checking to speak of–no buckle rash–clean headstock and a brazilian fretboard in excellent condition–ready to go to work right out of the case with new strings and set up for my preferences.
