We are pleased to announce the arrival of a very rare 1977 Les Paul Artisan made at the Kalamazoo factory for a very short period of time from 1976 to 1982!
The head is decorated with the traditional Gibson logo and inlaid with a beautiful flower motif!
The wood materials are 3-piece maple top, mahogany body, 3-piece maple neck with volute, and ebony fingerboard.
All parts are gold with Gibson logo pegs, Nashville bridge, and stop tailpiece, giving it an integrated look.
The PU is equipped with a “Super Humbucker” called a Tarbuck.
It has a clear and well-separated sound with a sense of power, and it produces a good sound both clean and distorted.
All Pots are also made in 1977.
There are buckle marks, scratches, dents, paint peeling from use on the side of the neck, and parts with chrome peeling, but it is highly original and in good condition considering its age.
The original case is also included, although it is slightly damaged.
This is a very rare and precious piece that has not been seen very often in recent years!
It is in good condition and highly recommended for collectors!
Please consider it as soon as possible!
