1973 Vintage Sunburst Gibson Les Paul 58 Standard Reissue. Even though this guitar is marked as a factory second it is extremely rare guitar. Because it did not have a matching book end capping it was marked as a second.Based on research, only 4 were shipped out of the factory in this year.The 1973 Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard is the First Year that the Gibson Factory made the Les Paul in the full size humbucker Standard Burst Configuration since the legendary 1958 - 1960 production series.The 1973 Les Paul Standard has the desirable mahogany neck. With very few being made in 1973, this is a special guitar! I purchased this guitar many years ago in its current condition, and it has seldomly left my home. The guitar is naturally lightly reliced in nice overall condition being 44 years old. Faded tobacco (very cool root beer) sunburst birdseye maple top as pictured. Weight 9.5 pounds having a balanced lighter feel while playing. No cracks nor repairs. Neck straight without issue. Frets in great shape. Headstock never drilled out and no extra holes.

Original pots and capacitors. Pot number 1377348. Jack plate had been replaced as was common.Resonant easy playing Les Paul with a comfortable 60's style neck and warm vintage patent sticker humbucker tone.
