SOLD - Gibson Les Paul Custom Maple Fretboard 1978 Natural

No sales tax for customers outside California.

This 1978 Les Paul Custom is a rare variant with a maple fretboard and the coolest natural, yellow ageing ever.  It looks like a smoked out guitar, but without the smell

I don't think the guitar was played all that much.  The original frets are in excellent condition, and there isn't much wear.  The pickups were changed to Duncans, but everything else is original.  The truss rod was checked and has room for future neck relief adjustments.

An original Gibson case is included.  It has gold lining, making it older than the guitar and far more valuable than the case that would have come with it.
