Gibson - 1978 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar Wine (Factory Second) w/OHSC - VINTAGE
This vintage 1978 Gibson Les Paul Standard in a classic Wine Red finish offers the unmistakable tone, sustain, and solid feel that defined late-1970s rock. Crafted during Gibson’s iconic Norlin era, this model features a heavy carved maple top paired with a solid mahogany body and a comfortable maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Stamped as a factory second ("2" impressed on the back of the headstock) due to a minor cosmetic flaw at the time of manufacture, this instrument has aged naturally over nearly five decades, developing a rich vintage character while remaining structurally sound and fully playable.
Equipped with original humbucking pickups, this Les Paul delivers everything from warm, creamy neck tones to punchy, articulate bridge crunch with legendary natural sustain. The hardware shows tasteful aging, and the original Wine Red finish highlights the natural grain of the wood underneath. It comes complete with its original Gibson hard shell case (OHSC), making it a standout collectible and gig-ready player for modern musicians and vintage Gibson enthusiasts alike.
