1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom, completely original and accompanied by its original hardshell case, represents one of the most sought-after periods for collectors and musicians alike: the rebirth of the Les Paul at the end of the 1960s. First came the reintroduction of the Goldtop, followed by the return of the Custom model, such as the example featured here by Sticky Fingers.
This Gibson features a one-piece mahogany body, an increasingly rare and highly desirable characteristic that contributes to its deep resonance and exceptional sustain. The three-piece mahogany neck is solid and stable, offering a substantial feel in hand along with a rich, balanced, and powerful tone.
Its original humbucking pickups deliver all the character that made the Les Paul Custom famous: full lows, articulate mids, and an impressive dynamic range.
The classic black finish, gold hardware, and multi-ply binding complete the unmistakable look of the legendary “Black Beauty.”
