1972 Gibson Les Paul Custom “Black Beauty” (Original, Not a Reissue)
Excellent-playing and great-sounding vintage Les Paul Custom from 1972—this is an original, not a reissue. The guitar has been well cared for and remains in solid vintage condition.
Cosmetically, it shows minor surface scratches and a few small dings consistent with age, but there are no cracks or structural repairs.

Bridge and tailpiece were replaced around 1983 due to corrosion

A great vintage player with classic tone and vibe.
