USED Gibson / Les paul Custom Ebony 1978 [10]

A dignified 1978 Crocus in stock!

The serial number indicates that it was made in 1978. The body is 1pcs mahogany and the neck is 3pcs maple. Nut width is about 43mm, and neck shape is generally clean. Both PUs have a DC resistance value of approximately 7.5k. Each pot is in fairly clean condition thanks to the shield box in the cavity, and there is one original solder with no visible date, but all are 78. The pickguard and mounting stay have been replaced. The selector knob and nut have also been replaced, and one front escutcheon screw has been replaced and there is a crack in the escutcheon due to tightening.

The body has wipe scratches, scuffs, dings, and paint deterioration. The pickguard has picking scratches with an overall finely clouded appearance. The paint is deteriorated and cloudy throughout the body. The paint surface on the lower left edge of the body top has deteriorated due to use. The paint is sagging, but this is a common symptom. The right neck of the body side also has a crumbly appearance and the paint is deteriorating. There are cracks on each binding area, but they do not seem to have spread further and are in good condition. The back of the neck has a thin layer of over-lacquer, which has been peeled off, as if the owner did not want the stickiness caused by the deterioration of the paint. The hardware is in good condition with some deterioration and chrome loss.

The neck is in good condition, and the truss rod can be adjusted to tighten or loosen. There are no string marks on the frets, and about 50-60% of the strings are left. Currently, the string height is adjusted at about 2.0mm on the 12F 6th string side and about 1.5mm on the 1st string side.

Overall, there is some deterioration of the paint due to use and aging, but it is commensurate with the age of the instrument. The only change to the parts that are common is the pickguard, and there are no sticker marks that are often seen. The sound has the chewy nuance of a 3pcs maple neck, and as a player who loves 3pcs maple, it goes well with a drive sound! The weight is very firm, so players who have mastered the use of this guitar will be very cool! It is also a great guitar for a birth year guitar, and you can replace the PU with an EMG to make it distorted to the max!
