Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty ‘Fretless Wonder’ Electric Guitar - Vintage 1971

$7,995.00

VINTAGE - This vintage 1971 Gibson Les Paul Custom was built at the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan and features a mahogany body with a maple top, and three-piece mahogany neck with the small volute and the non-dotted ‘I’ Gibson inlay logo on the headstock. The ebony fingerboard is fitted with the original ‘Fretless Wonder’ low wide frets, that are still in great condition, which makes this guitar a dream to play!

The guitar has the original Gibson ABR bridge, tailpiece, ‘patent sticker’ humbuckers, and original electronics. The guitar was fitted with a set of Grover tuners and was professionally oversprayed at some point long ago. This guitar was well played with the typical wear of a 55-year-old guitar and has no issues.

A new set of Gibson witch hat knobs were recently added. Comes with a non-original hardshell case. This Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Fretless Wonder is an amazing example of a great Les Paul Custom. Sounds and looks amazing, and it truly is a wonder to play!
