Gibson Historic Les Paul Custom 3 Pickup Reissue 1997
Guitar description
This Les Paul is certainly quite a find. A 1997 Historic reissue of a 57 three pickup Les Paul Custom Black Beauty. 90s Gibson's need little introduction for their legendary quality and attention to detail. This example is a stunningly good Les Paul Custom and just an amazing guitar. A lovely low action, fast neck and the sound is incredible. At twenty eight years old this example remains in superb condition with only light marks and light wear. It comes presented in the original case with the card still present. The three pickup versions of this model are rare and it's not unusual to see these being advertised at over £5k. This one is priced very fairly and priced to sell. Don't miss it.
