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.

Guitar Condition

Amazing for a twenty eight year old guitar. General marks and light scratches associated with age and use but has been very well cared for indeed. All stock and some tarnish / wear on gold plated metal parts, but light. Well above average for year.
