100% original 1978 Gibson Les Paul 25th Anniversary with flame maple top. My friend is the original owner who bought the guitar in 1978 from Brian Guitars in New Haven Connecticut. She was teaching guitar lessons there at the time, and she hand picked this guitar from many others because of the beautiful tiger stripes on the neck. She says the guitar has a lot of punch and would be great for blues, rock, or jazz.. It comes with the original Gibson hard shell case. This is a great investment that goes up in price year after year. You won't find a finer one. * Please note that I have kept a perfect 100 Ebay customer satisfaction score for over thirteen years, and I stand behind everything I sell.
