1962 Gibson Les Paul

$9,449.00

Pleased to offer this 1962 Gibson Les Paul (SG). This wonderful player’s grade ‘62 LPSG has had some knocks but some recent refreshing has yielded a ‘62 Les with new life and a great player.

Just refretted and with a new Gibson aged “vintage” sideway vibrola tailpiece, this old Gibson is feeling good on the fretboard but now with improved intonation with the updated tailpiece.

The electronics (pots, wiring, switch, jack) are original. A modern ‘57 Classic bridge pickup but in the neck is the original Patent number sticker PAF.

The neck thin taper with a wide nut but has had a headstock repair. It also appears to have a very thin heel repair and there is overspray over both areas. These appear to be very old and stable repairs.

Priced as a quality player’s grade 1962 Les Paul that has an amazing sound and feel…and it looks pretty cool too. Included original yellow lined case.

1974 Gibson EDS-1275

$12,500.00

Pleased to offer this original 1974 Gibson EDS-1275. On the heels of the overwhelming success of the song “Stairway to Heaven” Gibson reintroduced the “Double Neck” 12/6 string and this is an early one.

This guitar has only been played in the recording studio and home. With the exception of the silver plastic missing on one tuning button on the 12 string tuners and the Grovers on the 6 string, this Gibson is original. Plays and sounds great, set up and ready to rock.

Everyone needs their “Stairway” guitar so I may as well be an early ‘74. Includes OHSC.

Pleased to offer this 1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe in original Cherry Sunburst finish. What a great looking top on this Les Paul.

Original mini Humbuckers, replaced tuners and 5 micro switches, all disconnected and pots replaced with 2022 pots.

Les Paul Deluxes seem to have been the target of modifications, usually by routing for and installing full humbuckers. Also popular were the micro switch mods like on this one, usually a coil split, out of phase, volume boost and others.

At the end of the day, a great Les Paul body, neck and finish with original mini Humbuckers makes a great guitar. Affordable vintage and plays and sounds great. Comes with original hard shell case.

Besides the switch tip and a refret it is all original and the pots date to late Summer 1978. Nothing beats a solid great sounding Les Paul and this has more than proven her worth over the years. Now it’s someone else’s turn…birth year guitar perhaps?

Nut width, neck depth, weight are in the photos, Ebony fretboard is in just amazing condition. Just the right amount of wear on the factory gold hardware. Very comfortable neck.
