Product description

In the shop we have a 1972 Gibson Recording Les Paul!

This guitar is in very good condition with minimal fretwear and the original hardshell case.

As pictured there is some natural checking that has occured over the last few decades around the bridge and control panel, as well as on the horn.

The pickguards have cracked in two spots: one crack through the pickguard screw closest to the fingerboard and the other is on the control panel bottom screw near the input jack.

There is some light players dings to the back of the guitar but nothing substantial. There is some wear throught the finish on the back side of the upper horn. Its stable and looks like the guitar was well loved. That said there is a lot of life on the frets, they have some flat spots but no deep grooves; there is plenty of life to the frets and the guitar is super playable.

All of the electronics are functional.

This guitar weighs in at 9.45lbs making it a studio staple! Includes the original case as pictured.

Here's more from Gibson on the Recording Les Paul:

Model: Les Paul Recording
Pickups: Two low impedance humbuckers
Scale: 24 3/4"
Body: British Honduras mahogany, 17 7/8" long, 13 1/2" wide, 1 3/4" deep at the rim.
Neck: Three piece laminate mahogany, rosewood fretboard. 22 frets. Width at nut 1 11/16"
Hardware: Tune-o-matic bridge. Schaller M6
Finishes: Natural Mahogany

Bass, Treble and Volume Self explanatory. The bass and treble have a very wide range, but most importantly work independently from each other, dialing in more treble does not affect the level of bass, and vice versa

Decade Control This eleven position switch tunes or alters the treble harmonics. Produce "biting" or "silky" highs with simplicity.

Phase Control Only works when both pickups are selected.

Impedance Selector Hi for live use or Low for studio use (or live use with a Low-Impedance amplifier).

Tone Selector Three settings: 1, 2, and 3. This switch does not actually change the tone produced by the instrument per se.. it acts as a bypass, inactivating certain controls - hence allowing quick and reversible changes between settings that would otherwise be impossible particular in a live setting. In position 2 (middle), nothing is bypassed. All controls function as described above. In position 1 the pickup selector switch and treble and bass controls are inactive - both pickups are selected by default. In position 3 only the treble and bass controls are bypassed.
