1976 Gibson Les Paul Standard Cherry Sunburst

1976 Gibson Les Paul Standard Cherry Sunburst My personal Les Paul is the same, but one year younger (mine is a '77). Due to my profession and performances, I have played hundreds of Les Pauls and realized that for me personally, there is nothing better than this period, because only in this short segment of the mid-to-late 70s were Standards fitted with a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. You can read the full story about my '77 LP here - https://www.ladkorguitars.com/articles/tot-samyj-gibson-istorija-moego-les-pola Many people asked me to bring a similar one in stock, as I am not selling mine, and here I have brought one - they are extremely rare to find in good condition and with original pickups. Only the tuners were changed to Gibson tulip ones. Everyone who listened to the guitar discovered their own sound in it. For instance, one person turned the tone to zero on the neck and played Money For Nothing for me perfectly in line with the Dire Straits studio recording. Another played Cinderella. I, of course, played Page and Slash. 70s Standards with everything original are a great rarity and often cost more than Customs, and are rarely found, selling from $4000-6000 even in the USA, and sometimes even more; in the last year, prices for Norlin Era LPs have skyrocketed because all Jerry Cantrell reissues cost over $10k+ or Adam Jones are already 20+ - they were from that very period. The electronics work like a clock - perfectly, nothing crackles, and it smoothly increases tone and volume on both pickups. Honestly, I'm shocked at how well everything has been preserved!!! This is clearly an indicator of the high-quality assembly of the instrument, as it still tunes and sounds perfectly in every respect to this day. The tone is very deep. Another thing - when playing through overdrive and you need to switch to clean, and there is no footswitch, for example - we use the volume knob and turn it down to almost zero. A true Gibson will give a crystal sound with slight looseness. And yes!!! There is a crystal clean sound even on gain with the volume almost turned down, especially in the neck. Most importantly for me - an LP should have a hooligan, loose, unhinged sound! That is what makes a real Gibson! We get all that on this LP when playing into ANY gear, be it Mesa Mark V, Marshall, or Soldano or something else. When recording, it sounds the same as when playing live! With other guitars, you have to mess around, turn knobs... here everything is perfect - just plug in and go. I have never had it happen that you pick up a guitar and write a song immediately. Now, as soon as I take my LP and this one into my hands - the notes just run, everything is written easily and effortlessly. You can consider me whoever you want, but I believe that a guitar has its own soul, just like a person, it has emotions, a mood, and here my inner musical world is completely complemented by the world of this guitar. I don't know, words can't explain it. For example - you take a guitar, write a solo by jamming and it sounds perfect and all the notes are on point and with soul. This guitar will fulfill the old-school style for its new owner - classic rock. I don't think I should detail the specifications... but there is one important point - the body on this guitar is made as a sandwich: mahogany-maple layer-mahogany-maple top. The neck is made of three pieces of maple, the top is selected from good matched pieces. The guitar is in quite good condition for its 45 years of age, see the photos, there are of course marks, but nothing brutal, the frets on the guitar are original - wide and flat "Fretless Wonder", there is wear, but you can still play and play on them. The case is not original, but vintage. The guitar is set up, polished, and waiting for its new owner to write hits! I will provide you with a review of my identical '77 LP It can also be heard on almost every track of my album https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL72lLR9JDXdGysRBG3FnC5srgH3wRl8bv The guitar is in Dnipropetrovsk! It can be listened to on good tube equipment of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Fender, Soldano, Friedman, Vox, ... I will deliver to any point in the world
