Up for sale, a 1974 Gibson Les Paul Standard in excellent condition and in perfect working order, finished in Tobacco Sunburst and complete with the original hardshell case. 100% original save for one tuner button, this is one of very few specially-ordered Les Paul Standard with full-size humbuckers crafted in ‘74 (the Standard wouldn’t officially become a catalog model again until ‘76).
Tonewoods include a three-piece carved maple top, “sandwich” mahogany body, three-piece mahogany neck, and a bound rosewood fingerboard. The original pair of T Top humbuckers are full and rich: the neck pickup delivers warmth and woof without sacrificing detail, and the bridge has a focused punch and round, chiming quality. This Les Paul Standard weighs only 9lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Mahogany, three-piece
-Shape: Slender C, measuring .820” 1st fret, .975” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, pearloid trapezoid inlay
-Frets: Medium jumbo, leveled and crowned, virtually no wear
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 11/16”
-Tuners: Gibson Deluxe double-line, double ring (one modern/aged button)
-Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to ‘74
Body Specs:
-Wood: Maple, mahogany
-Pickups: T Top humbucker x2
-Harness: Untouched solder, CTS pots date to 52nd week of 1974
-Hardware: ABR-1 bridge, stopbar (chrome-plated)
-Plastics: Gold reflector cap knobs, cream pickguard
The pickups are a unique, transitional pair of T Tops, with the earlier blank baseplate on the bridge pickup (which would have previously had a Pat # decal), and an early example of a Pat # embossed baseplate on the neck pickup.
The gloss Tobacco Sunburst nitro lacquer finish highlights tight flame figuring in the bass-side third of the carved maple top, and cosmetic wear includes buckle rash central to the back and some minor dings on the body as a whole, largely on the lower bout and body perimeter. The nitro lacquer on the neck profile is smooth and free of palm wear with a few shallow marks.
The original black tolex hardshell case with purple plush interior is included. The case has a silver Gibson silkscreen on the lid, functional latches and the original handle.
