Another Les Paul Follows me Home

[lhrocker]

I don't know why this keeps happening... 1972 Les Paul Custom in about 8.5 out of 10 condition. The neck is 60's profile and the guitar weighs over 10 pounds. The action is super low with no buzz. Not sure if it's a keeper, but it does look cool.

Looks great to me - black LPCs with exposed coils look awesome!

nice custom classic i think thats what that is called!

Custom classic is what they call the new ones.Looks like it has Hoveland caps in it.
Pots have been changed thats good.Really sloppy wiring job but as long as it works who's going to know.I think the neck binding is newer just too white, it could have been scraped recently too.
Love the Norlin L.P's good score.Should have a maple neck too does it?

A good candidate for a John Sykes makeover!

3 piece mahogany neck, the pots look like they've been swapped out, the hardware definitely isn't stock (may restore), pickups not original and it's been refretted. Cool piece of history anyway.

The refret is probably why the front of the binding looks so white. It appears the fret end binding is gone, correct? Whoever did the refret probably sanded the board. Still, a very cool old Custom.

Uh oh... You just made me sad that I got rid of my '78.

Not a Custom Classic - that has traps and the flowerpot inlay.

This is bitchin'. Awesome score.

The binding is there - it's just rounded and you don't see it from that angle.

Hi rocker. This is my first post let alone a reply.But I just wanted to know how much did you drop on that LP raw you had last month.. You must be in the money buying Lesters like there candy.

[lhrocker]

Hey justpickin - that particular Lester is gone. I go thru like nothing as I always strive to find the best one. Getting a good deal always helps, especially if I can turn a profit. I answered you in the other thread.

I didn't see your response in the other post but I hope you snagged it at a good price. You should have kept it , "refin it" since you do that aswell. Their hard to come by..Just my 2cents.

Looks like a crack on the back of the headstock where the tuners are?
