1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom Vintage Guitar Tobacco Sunburst w/ T Tops, Case

1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom Vintage Guitar Tobacco Sunburst w/ T Tops, Case

Up for sale, a 1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This vintage Les Paul Custom features a carved three-piece maple top, “sandwich” mahogany body, and a three-piece maple neck capped with a bound ebony fingerboard.

Weighing 10lbs 8oz, the tonewoods ensure plenty of natural punch and sustain, and the ebony fretboard yields glassy treble cut. All three pickup positions are distinct and full-sounding, and the T-Top humbuckers deliver growl and bold upper midrange aggression, while the neck pickup has ample oomph and a thick-yet-detailed quality. This Les Paul Custom has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Neck Specs:

-Wood: Maple (three-piece)
-Shape: Medium C, measuring .840” 1st fret, .995” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Ebony, pearl block inlay
-Frets: Medium jumbo, moderate wear on frets 1-9
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 11/16”
-Tuners: Gibson-branded (Schaller-made)
-Serialization: 00-prefix, stickered

Body Specs:

-Wood: Maple, mahogany
-Pickups: T Top humbucker x2
-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector
-Harness: Untouched solder, CTS pots date to 10th week of 1976
-Hardware: Nashville bridge, stopbar
-Plastics: Four-ply black pickguard, reflector cap knobs, amber switch tip (replaced)

The gloss Tobacco Sunburst nitro lacquer finish is framed by ambered multi-ply binding, with minor checking on the binding and body perimeter. There is one finish one chip on the treble-side cutaway, faint buckle wear central to the back, minor dings and finish scratches, and the expected patina on the gold plating consistent with use. The gloss on the neck profile is clean and smooth, free of palm wear with just a couple shallow marks.

The original Gibson-branded hardshell case is included and very clean, with functional latches, the original handle and Gibson silkscreen on the lid.
