This is a 1976 Gibson Les Paul Artisan in the Walnut finish. The Artisan was a run built for a short period of time that saw the Les Paul with hearts and flowers fretboard and headstock inlays and gold hardware. The guitar originally shipped with TP-6 fine tuner tailpieces, and this one has had its tailpiece changed over time to a standard stopbar. The guitar has wear around the body, including some small chips around the treble side fretboard edges that don't impede on your playing or give way to any dead notes on the fretboard. It's definitely a players grade Artisan with low frets on it, but still lots of fun to play, and the cosmetics of course are still very eye-catching. A non-original case, albeit a vintage Gibson case is included. The headstock area is larger than what would have come with the guitar, but rest assured the guitar is packed securely!
Includes: Non-Original Hardshell Case
