GIBSON LES PAUL RECORDING - 1977-1979 - RARE!
|
|
Very good condition Gibson Les Paul Recording. One of the rarest vintage Gibson guitars. This is the second version of the Gibson LP Recording, made between 1977 and 1979, of which only 620 were ever made. The neck and pot dates are different, the neck date indicates 1974-1975, and the controls are obviously from 1977-1979. Photos of the pot dates can be provided upon request. The tuners and hardcase have been changed, otherwise all original. Some minor chips and dents can be seen, but nothing which effects the playing. Amazing condition for its age. Plays and sounds great, you can achieve so many different tones, this guitar is perfect for live work and in the studio. This is Les Paul's own choice of guitar.
The Les Paul Recording Guitar is probably the best known of all of Gibson's Low Impedance models and was produced in the greatest numbers. It was introduced in 1971/72 as a replacement for the ailing Personal and Professional models. The first version was produced from 1971 until 1977. The second version with a slightly altered layout was produced from 1977/79.
