1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar - Wine Red (10 lb 9 oz)

Serial Number:  00116999
Weight:  10 lb 9 oz

This 1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom is a classic example of the model’s mid-’70s era craftsmanship, delivering the substantial feel, rich sustain, and unmistakable visual presence that have made the Les Paul Custom a cornerstone of electric guitar history. Finished in Wine Red, this instrument features the elegant appointments and authoritative tone that players and collectors alike associate with vintage Gibson Customs.

Equipped with its original Patent Stamp humbuckers, this Les Paul Custom offers a warm, powerful voice with excellent midrange depth and clarity, well suited for everything from articulate clean passages to thick, driven rock tones. The guitar retains its original low frets, contributing to its authentic vintage feel and playability.

At one point, the tuning machines were replaced, but the original tuners have since been reinstalled and are included on the instrument. The fretboard inlays experienced cracking in the past and were professionally stabilized with filler to smooth the surface, resulting in a comfortable and playable neck while preserving the guitar’s original character. Weighing in at 10 lb 9 oz, this Les Paul Custom delivers the solid, sustaining response typical of the era.

The guitar includes its original purple-lined hard shell case, completing this well-preserved vintage package.
