1978 Gibson LP Standard Silverburst SUPER RARE!!!!

Post by Brentrocks »

This guitar has a long and interesting history....


This is a 1978 LP Standard that was built for "House of Guitars" in New York to commemorate their 25th Anniversary. It is 1 of 25 made!! It has a 25th Ann inlay on the 9th fret, along with traps. The original inked on serial was removed by thieves somewhere in the 80s-90s. It also suffered a headstock repair in that time. This is a VERY RARE Gibson! I bought it without pickups...I installed a set of TIM SHAWs onto the RS 50s harness that was in the guitar when I received it. This guitar has a lot of wear...but the original frets are still in great shape. This is a Nashville made LP. It weighs 10 lbs. The neck is a medium chunky 50s style. This thing has great tone and sounds incredible!!! The Silverburst finish is original. This LP is signed by Les Paul...behind the tailpiece....but it extremely faded...can be seen with a blacklight. The case it pretty well beat...but does its job.


$1800 plus PP/shipping. I will ship international.


Thanks for looking!

this is an allowable exception to the "if it aint a custom, it aint worth it" silverburst rule.
