Gibson

Description

This all-original 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom in classic Ebony is a premier piece of rock history. A quintessential representative of the Norlin era, it features a solid mahogany body paired with a carved maple top to provide that legendary, biting attack and endless sustain. Every detail on this "Black Beauty" remains entirely factory-stock, including its iconic chrome hardware, multi-ply binding, and a fast three-piece maple neck outfitted with an ebony fretboard featuring low-profile "Fretless Wonder" style frets and mother-of-pearl block inlays. At its sonic heart are the highly sought-after, original T-Top humbuckers stamped for November 1978, delivering the tight lows, punchy mids, and exceptional clarity that defined the sound of late-'70s arena rock. With untouched solder joints, original pots dating to November 1978, and zero modifications, this instrument offers an uncompromised vintage playing experience and stands as a rock-solid investment that will only continue to appreciate.
