Description
This 1979 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Natural finish is a true expression of the Norlin era, combining bold aesthetics with substantial construction. The solid body features a maple top over a mahogany back and sides, finished in nitrocellulose to enhance resonance and highlight the wood’s natural grain. The three-piece maple neck with a Medium C profile provides excellent stability and a comfortable grip, while the 22 medium jumbo frets on a 10” radius rosewood fingerboard ensure smooth playability across the entire scale.
Loaded with a pair of 1979 Gibson “Patent Number” humbuckers in HH configuration, it delivers the unmistakable Les Paul voice: thick lows, pronounced mids and a dynamic response that moves effortlessly from warm cleans to rich, singing overdrive. The traditional T V T V control layout with three-way switch, Tune-O-Matic bridge with stop-bar tailpiece, nickel hardware and original amber knobs complete a coherent and authentic package. Weighing 4.390 kg, this guitar offers the solidity and presence that define late ’70s Les Pauls, a piece that feels as powerful as it sounds.
