Pleased to offer this original 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom. Other than the original 1950s Les Pauls, these Les Paul Customs from this 68/69 era when Gibson resumed production, are known for being the highest quality made Les Pauls. This is because they were closest to the original Les Paul builds from the 1950s in production materials and techniques used before the Norlin buyout of Gibson.
This original and unmodified ‘69 is an early one with a one piece body, three piece neck, no volute and no Made in USA stamp. With a nut width of and neck depth of “ at the first fret and “ at the twelfth fret.
Original pre-T-top patent number sticker pickups and pots. Bridge pup is at and neck pup at Pots date to . The pickups sound amazing and are very responsive.
There is a slight chip on the corner of right side of headstock in the back, not visible from the front. Other than that and a refret, this Black Beauty is all original and in excellent condition with some nice weather checking and aging of the gold hardware.
Includes OHSC.
