1979 Gibson Les Paul 25th Anniversary Edition

Description: 1979 25/50 Anniversary—a limited edition model that is essentially a tricked out Les Paul Custom. It features a Birdseye Maple top, 2 humbucker pickups, a coil-tap switch (cutting-edge tech for the late '70s), a tune-o-matic bridge, and the recently unveiled TP-6 tailpiece (those fine tuners were also cutting-age at the time).In tribute to the archtops Les Paul played before his signature model, the 25/50 Anniversary has the same slashed-block inlay as the 1940s Super 400. On the peghead, it has an elaborate mother-of-pearl 25 over 50 inlay, and it has high-end cosmetics all around. Mother-of-pearl Gibson inlay, abalone side position markers, Double-bound body with fancy purfling, gold hardware, brass nut, gold truss rod cover, etc.—it's dressed to the nines! It even has gold-plated tuners that have regular metal Keystone buttons (so they won't tarnish over time). Ultimately, only 1842 of the 25/50 Anniversary model were ever produced. This 1978 Gibson Les Paul is in remarkably clean condition for its age. It shows absolutely minimal play wear, and the gold plating on the hardware has held up beautifully over time. It has smooth, low action, and it delivers powerful rock-n-roll tone. The coil tap lends some nice versatility, too. In addition being a highly-collectible commemorative model, the 25/50 Anniversary is also a really nice Les Paul that sounds and plays like it should. This one includes its original hard-shell case.This guitar was used for performing in the 80s, but has been stored in it's case for that last 30 or so years.
