This guitar is all original and has amazing tone, playability, sustain! Has some buckle rash on back and a few nicks nothing major. That has some ware on hardware and is missing one of the fine tuners. This listing is for a Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar that is in great vintage used condition. Also, if my pictures are not high enough quality- you may want to check out the original Elderly posting as their photography is stunning and the guitar hasn't changed really since those wereĬlick Thumbs to Enlarge Images 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom 25/50 Anniversary Vintage Kalamazoo w OHSC. Other than substantial crazing on the back sides- most likely the reason for the guitar being marked a'2nd' it plays and sounds like a 45 year old guitar that spends most of its life in the case so there are no separation cracks or fretboard pitting etc. Action is low(more Taylor like could be higher for more volume if wanted) and there is absolutely no need for a neck reset. As well, BUT they both could be very highly figured other type of rosewood. I am confident that both the fretboard and the bridge are both Brazilian. It is an ideal lap guitar and excellent for recording. T his USA made acoustic g uitar is: EC- 00 size, D-shaped body, natural gloss finish, X-braced solid spruce top, laminated Brazilian rosewood back and sides, 3-piece 14-fret mahogany neck, 20-fret rosewood fretboard with pearloid dot inlays, rosewood bridge with adjustable saddle, black pickguard, white-bound body, b-w top purfling, 3-on-a-plate Kluson Deluxe tuners with plastic white buttons, 14-3/8' lower bout, ~24-3/4' scale, 1-9/16' nut width, 3-9/16' to 4-9/16' body depth, rare model, stamped'2' on back of headstock, SN:891078) I really like this guitar but I am playing only 1 3/4' neck guitars now and as such I am sure someone else would find this the perfect fit.

I am comforta ble going along with Elderly's original assessment of circa 68-6 9 manufacture. Does not have M ade in US A stamp but shows 3 piece mahogany neck but serial#891078 so this could have enter d the produc tion/distribution pipeline from 1968 to 1970. more har dshell case and is a few years older- no other changes whatsoever from the information below.
