This vintage, 1972 Gibson Les Paul Custom is a fantastic playing, fretless wonder from the "Pancake" Les Paul era. Delivering all sorts of vintage, black beauty vibes, this guitar sports the original Patent Number Humbucking pickups, complete with the patent # decal.

Here with an original set of gold Grover tuners which were possibly a custom order at the time of production, when Gibson specs were in flux. The original CTS pots date to the 11th week of 1972 and are wired up with the original Sprague capacitors.
