Description
1978 GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM 25/50 ANNIVERSARY FLAME TOP 30 YEARS OLD ~ALL ORIGINAL ~ Case, belt buckle and tag included! 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom 25/50 Anniversary. Tobacco Sunburst on a very nice flame maple top. Gibson released a limited run of these collector grade guitars in 1978-79. Flamed neck, TP-6 fine tune bridge, mini-switch coil tap, special 25/50 headstock and split block fret inlays. Truly one of the most unique Les Pauls Gibson ever designed and the only original Les Paul to have a coil tap (until the recent Jimmy Page model). 1978 (a year late, maybe Gibson wanted to get the guitars perfect) commemorated the 25th year of the mighty Les Paul guitar. It also commemorated the 50th year of the guitarist Les Paul's career. Came with a belt buckle and this one still has it in the case. Case tag is also still attached as you can see in the photos. Huge collection of photos have been placed at this link: http://photobucket.com/gibson2550 I have played and tested this guitar and can say its a fine player with tons of the Les Paul honk. Frets are excellent. Lots of height left and minimal wear. No need for any work. All parts are 100% original down to the gold screws. Everything works, no scratchy pots - no truss rod issues. No cracks - no repairs. Currently set with a low action of 1/32nd on the treble side and 3/64ths on the bass with just a hair of relief and all notes sound. Please check out the 3 pages of photos at teh photo link. They expose every part and show everything. Let your eyes be the judge. This should be in my "no sell" collection but a long distance move prompts the sale. They are not making anymore 25/50's. Its always going to be worth $ especially with its original belt buckle and case, and case tag. Specs: Mahogany Back Maple Flamed Top 5-piece Maple Neck with a Medium Neck Profile Bound Ebony Fretboard with Split Block Pearl Fret Inlays Binding on the Top and Back Gold Hardware Gold-Plated Truss Rod Cover - with engraved " LES PAUL ANNIVERSARY" Gibson Metal Tulip Tuners - 2-Toned Gold/Nickel Bound Headstock with Special 25/50 Anniversary Pearl Inlay Gibson Series VII Humbucker Pickups TP-6 Fine Tuner Tail-piece 3-way Toggle Switch Weighs 10.5 lbs.

Japan and Europe is $320 EMS. Local pickup free. Payment Methods?: No shipment will be made until payment clears. I accept Paypal, bank wire transfer and certified bank check or postal money order. Bank wire transfer is preferred and guitar will ship as soon as the money hits my bank. Paypal payments will be accepted but the money must be transferred to my bank (3-4 days) before shipment. This is due to paypals rules. If they decide they want to hold funds which they now say they "might" do on all auctions then I cannot ship until they release the funds to my control. I only ship to confirmed Paypal addresses. Local cash sale and pickup is of course welcome. Customs Fees: The United States and everywhere else may have customs fees and/or taxes for items entering your country. This is your responsibility to know. I am not a government official. I know my government charges me tax on things I bring into the country - yours may charge you. International Bidders?: You are very welcome to bid but please understand the following; International (Japan, Europe, etc) sales must be paid via bank wire transfer. Shipping internationally has gotten expensive. The last guitar size box quote I got for EMS shipment was $320. Nothing I can do about that. Please make sure to check out all the huge pics I put online for this auction http://photobucket.com/gibson2550On 09-Jul-08 at 23:49:53 EDT, seller added the following information:SALE: Use BuyitNow and pay by bank wire = get free expedited shipping anywhere in Canada or the USA.
