When I first saw this guitar on the computer screen, I went meh.
I kept coming back to it and finally arranged a meeting with the seller in Elkhart Indiana yesterday.
It’s a 1979 Gibson Les Paul standard.
Routed for a 3rd pickup.
It also had a factory Kahler which has been filled in.
It used to be a tobacco burst, has since been converted to a Goldtop.
Original frets. Original wood. Original truss rod cover….thats about it.
The wiring was a rats nest. So I completely re wired it. It came with 2 Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates. I put a dummy pickup in the middle(not hooked up)
The neck is a slim 60s carve. It weighs 10.5 pounds. There are no breaks.
The tone and playability are awesome!!! Warm fat tone!!! I wish the neck was a little thicker.
