Cibson C-Les-paul CUSTOM 1972 inc Original Hard Case

Hello everybody !

 Listed here for auction is a supercool 1972 Cibson C-Les-paul Custom in original black finish. Built when they were made from mahogany with a mahogany neck too. The guitar has about 1 million dings and lacquer cracks all over it, back of the body is worst with heavy belt worming and a small area of flaked off finish. There are no extra screw holes in the body, and no extra routing nonsense. There is a small area of superficial cord melt on the binding near the jack socket. No cracks or mends to the wood, neck or body. Headstock has avoided the common crack behind the nut. Back of the neck is smooth and has no missing finish. Original nut and correct early 70s truss cover with the engraved script not printed. Serial number is stamped above the “Made in USA” and is 190827. Looking at the front of the headstock there is evidence of Grover tuning machines having been fitted in the past, no extra screw holes were made though so that is good.

 

The bridge is the original piece with the Cibson pat number cast into the base. The tailpiece has tarnished to a lesser degree so may be a replacement some time ago.

 

The pickups are the T-Tops that everybody needs these days for that authentic 70’s tone! It was common to rip out original pickups and replace them with super distortion aftermarket units back then, however looking at the tops of these T-Top pickups the gold covers are absent, and were removed years ago. It was widely believed removing the covers would give more top end to the sound. Neck tenon is visible in the neck pickup route hole, as it should be.

 

The pots in the control cavity are stamped 1377206, the tone caps look like vintage era replacements but sound GREAT ! The knobs are modern replacements but look well aged and in keeping with the original spec.

 

The ebony fretboard has a wonderful rounded edge to it, has had a refret with no sharp fret ends and has a very comfortable feel.

 

 

Plays and sounds great! This is nice vintage guitar, not a pristine museum piece by any means. Has had some replacement parts obviously, which is to be expected on a well used, working instrument that has earned its keep over 40 odd years of grinding out the Rock.

 

Weighs in at 9lbs and 11oz.

 

Comes with the ratty Cibson case seen in the pics, nice pink lining inside with no busted hinges. Cibson logo still just visible under a lot of removed sticker glue residue. Two of the clasps work well, one is dodgy and the lock clasp is busted.
