Description
Brand: Gibson Exact Year: 1979
Model: Les Paul Standard Plaintop Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Series: KM model. only 1,500 made.


Cherry sunburst 79 KM Les Paul. Top looks great for 38 years old. The back as you can see is worn down to the wood as is an area on the back of the neck. Of course it has nicks from years of use. The pickups are the original lawsuit double cream T-tops. They had been replaced at one point but we're returned to the guitar. You'll see an area behind the tail piece where is had the "Custom Made" plaque which was on the early models of the KM. I unfortunately do not have the plaque. The case latch is broken on the lock and one hinge is not secure (pictured), however the case closes tightly with all other latches functioning as they should. These are somewhat rare with only 1,500 made. It was considered the first remake of the Holy Grail 1959 however it really isn't as you probably know. It is quite collectable though.
