Sorted - Les Paul custom 70s-80s
What's Hot
Hey all!
So after years of lusting after an old Custom, I’ve decided it’s finally time to get one. During a recent work trip to Stockholm I played a dreamy 74 in a great shop called Hellstone - fell in love but sadly I didn’t have time to go back and get it before closing time. Unfortunately, they won’t ship it… so my search must continue!
So, before í dive in the scary depths of reverb I thought I’d check if anyone has one for sale here first!
It’s my favourite model so I’m open to different years and variations, but I’m hoping for ideally one of these:
54 reissue LE from the early 70s with the P90/staple configuration.
71-74ish black custom, abr1/t-tops configuration.
and a wildcard of a late 70s/early 80s silverburst.
Player grade is more than welcome here, it’s gonna get played! A beat up Les Paul is a thing of beauty to me, so wear, neck breaks or repairs are totally cool.
Weight is fairly important, as I’d like to be able to play this standing up, so the lighter the better (I know it’s a big ask for a 70s custom - but you never know!)
Thanks!

I thought it was quite big money but there was another on reverb recently listed at £12k and it disappeared quite quickly.so must have sold off reverb.

Its cherry sunburst and has a mod or two, but not a bad price.
This is now all sorted, I’m now the proud owner of the Les Paul Custom that started this rabbit hole!!
Just a note of appreciation for @jacklawtey - he reached out to help me make the dream come true of getting the guitar I had played on my recent trip to Stockholm.
Since the shop wouldn’t post it, Jack very kindly took time out of his day to go to Hellstone, pickup the guitar, check it was all ok before getting it packed in the most bombproof package ive ever seen!
He also was a total gem of a human and gave me total peace of mind whilst we navigated what was, frankly, a pretty nuts mission to get the guitar!
Photo below, I’m over the moon and using it on a gig tonight!
Thanks Jack!
