Just grabbed a perfect 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom the other day. While I realize it’s not a 71 or other older model that might be a bit more desirable, it plays just like them and looks exactly the same with the exception of the “Twentieth Anniversary” inlay as shown in the photo. Extra Fat, beefy sound, lots of sustain and no back breaking weight either. This one has a slimline 60′s style neck and all original hardware. Plays like butter and it’s nice and dinged up which is just the way I like it.

I’ve been on the lookout for one of these for a long time. Not because Jerry Garcia with the Grateful Dead played one just like it because, frankly I never really cared for them. Not because Greg Brown the guitar player for Cake played one either and I do like Cake very much. I just love the look, feel and nostalgia that comes with a guitar like this.

This beauty has a single single sharp cutaway like the Gibson Les Paul and it has two pickups. This one has a sweet cherry finish with bound top and back. Looks like an original Bigsby tailpiece (AKA Whammy Bar or Tremolo) along with a metal bridge to round things off.

Born in 1965 and probably prettier today than it was on it’s birthday. I know very few people who can say that. Sure hope I find the right one but this one would do nicely.
