Late 1970 Gibson Les Paul Standard, with black lacquer finish. The lacquer finish is not checking. Purchased in 1978 or 1979. One owner, enjoyed playing this bad ass guitar. Normal nicks and worn marks in the finish. Modified the pick ups, (don't have the original pick ups.) Changed up the tuning keys with Schallers tuners. Had bridge and tail piece replace with Bad Ass brand. Guitar plays great and all electrical components work fine. Comes with original Gibson hard case. Thanks for checking it out.
