The Story

Les Paul Custom Ebony 1978

This tank of a guitar is an awesome 1978 Les Paul Custom in a quite clean ebony finish! This '78 is a solid bodied riff monster, complete with block inlays, gold hardware, and multi-ply body binding. The guitar has two Patent Number impressed humbuckers, Gibson tuners, and Dunlop strap locks installed. The back of the headstock is stamped 'Second', however besides the honest light players wear, this guitar still looks awesome. There are pick marks around the top and the pickup covers, but around the rest of the body the ebony finish is still super clean. The guitar includes a non-original Gibson hardshell case and the Dunlop strap lock pins to put on your favorite strap!

Includes: Non-Original Hardshell Case
