1961 Gibson Les Paul Custom White
This 1961 Gibson Les Paul Custom three pickup is one of the coolest guitars we've had in the shop. It remains in 100% original condition down to the pickups, wiring, finish, and everything in between. We drove down to Gainesville, Florida to purchase this from the family of the original owner and we immediately knew we had something very special. It was played by their father in a band back in the 60s and he later handed it down to his daughter, who was full of fond memories of her father and this guitar.
Measurements: 7.8 lbs / 3.55 kg total weight. The neck measures 1.71" wide at the nut, 0.82" deep at the 1st fret, and 0.88" deep at the 12th fret. The neck pickup reads 7.83k ohms, the bridge pickup reads 7.48k ohms, and the bridge + middle reads 4.04k ohms.
Originality: All parts and finish are original to this guitar. The case is era correct but not original to this guitar.
Playability: Excellent! It has all the vintage feel and vibe with no playability issues.
Condition: Very good! The gold parts have typical oxidation. It has never suffered a neck break or repair.
Included: It comes with an all original Gibson hard case.
Fine Print: All guitars ship via FedEx Priority Overnight for domestic sales or FedEx Priority International. I offer a 48 hour approval period beginning on delivery for all sales during which you are welcome to opt for a return as long as the guitar is still in as-sent condition. I do not charge a restocking fee, but any non-refunded payment processing fees, outbound shipping, and return shipping costs are subtracted from the refund in the case of a return.
