Australian delivered Factory Custom order from 1972. I have never seen an LP with exactly this configuration. Cherry finish that has faded to a beaut Watermelon colour, Gold hardware, Gold Bigsby. The pots date to the 30th week of 1972. Was bought brand new in 1974, which ties in with the time Gibson would have taken to build this, and we suspect it was a dealer order. To my mind, it plays like the ultimate 70s LP, low action, total fretless wonder. On that note, the frets are low and wide as they were in the 1970s..you could refret if you desired but hell, why would you when it plays like this. Was owned by the same fella for its whole life, nothing changed and very well looked after, but played..kind of the perfect scenario. Bigsby is always a good time on an LP. This guitar is 100% in the 'find another' category, and of course, we are absolutely stoked to have it in the shop at the moment until it finds its next (hopefully long term) owner. Made in the USA. SN 754205. Weight, 4.6kg.
