Up for sale, a 1977 Gibson Les Paul Pro in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a "chainsaw" hardshell case and augmented with a Bigsby B7 vibrato. The Pro model was short-lived, and this vintage Gibson has a feature set roughly mirroring a 1956 Les Paul Standard, with a pair of clear bobbin P-90 single coil pickups that absolutely roar.
These pickups take full advantage of the time-tested tonewood combination of a solid mahogany body and carved maple top, articulating the attack of maple as well as the warm, thick growl of the mahogany. Additionally, the uncommon ebony fretboard gives the guitar a glassy treble snap that works well with the midrange-forward character of the P-90s. The guitar weighs a particularly hearty 11lbs 13oz, dishing out plenty of sustain and sonic authority with a strong bark when strummed acoustically. We've had this Les Paul Pro professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Three-piece maple
-Shape: Medium C, full shoulders, measuring .830” 1st fret, .975” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Bound ebony, pearl trapezoid inlay
-Frets: Refretted medium jumbo, no wear
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 11/16”, upgraded bone
-Tuners: Original Gibson-branded (Schaller-made), chrome with tulip buttons
-Serialization: Stamped on back of peghead
Body Specs:
-Pickups: Original clear bobbin P-90s
-Harness: Modern CTS 500k pots, ceramic disc caps
-Hardware: Nashville Tune-o-Matic with replaced GraphTech saddles, added Bigsby B7 vibrato
-Plastics: Original black speed knobs, pickguard, switch surround and P-90 covers.
The instrument presents very well, and the Ebony nitro lacquer finish has been polished to a high gloss. There are a couple localized spots of light buckle wear on the back, and a few finish chips along the back body edge. Wear is otherwise limited to some scattered minor marks and light finish scratches in the clear coat on the body as a whole, consistent with decades of careful use. The neck profile retains its smooth gloss.
A vintage Gibson "chainsaw" molded hardshell case with red plush interior is included.
