This 1972 Gibson Les Paul Custom in Black (often called "Black Beauty") is presented in excellent, all-original condition. It retains its factory appointments including the multi-ply binding on body and headstock, ebony fretboard, block inlays, and the original hardware and electronics. Notable original details include the rare Gibson-embossed pickup covers — a period-correct feature that adds provenance and period charm. The finish, neck profile, and playability are consistent with a well-preserved early-1970s Custom.
This guitar includes the original hardshell case (OHSC).
