Gibson Les Paul Special 1977 with original case
Guitar description
We bought this gorgeous Les Paul special from the guy who'd owned in since the 1980s. He gave up playing years ago so sold us his small collection of guitars. He had it imported from the USA at the time and it remains in original spec and in very good overall condition. As with any guitar of this age that's been played it has the right amount of wear and battle scars you would expect. The frets look original and are worn but still highly playable and with enough life left on them. With it's P90 pickups this guitar has a classic tone, we love the sound! It's extremely playable with a low action and a very comfy C shape neck.We have had the guitar set up and it plays amazingly with a low action etc etc. Our guitar tech discovered there is a very slight twist in the neck but it’s negligible and doesn’t affect the playability of this wonderful guitar. It comes in the original Gibson case. Very clean examples of these are typically on the market for £1500 - £2000. We have priced this according to it's condition and the fact that we have declared the slight twist in the neck. If you're looking for a wonderful vintage guitar with a classic vibe and tones then you can't go wrong with this one.
