Worth it! Beautiful!! In 79 I was 27. I've got a lot more dings and scratches on me in the same 44 years. That guitar has character with the dings and scratches and to think Les Paul himself could have put some of those there. Don't complain young man.

Firstly, congratulations on finally snagging your current SUPER RARE Les Paul find with amazing provenance Austin! Secondly, the shielding base plate stamp is my birthday! Yet despite its flaws, to me (and probably you too) the historical value of this piece in the terms of all things Gibson and the Les Paul model is the same as or equal to nothing short of priceless. Truly an astoundingly beautiful milestone of a guitar. Onward to the next hunt! Right on and collect and assemble for the museum on! \m/

I have a 1979 Les Paul Standard that came with P90s and pankake mahogany body, maple top, maple neck and ebony fretboard. At some point, someone had gutted it and put in Super Distortions, which frankly look and sound incredible and will never leave the guitar. The only thing i did was add treble bleeds and swap the magnets for double thick, short Alnico 5 and it did exactly what i wanted - smoothed the highs without loosing any beef. It's my favorite guitar sound ever. There's something about a Les Paul with an Ebony Fretboard and Maple neck. Still has the chunk, but an added 8khz-10khz brightness and complexity without being overbearing. It is an absolue juggernaut in tone. If the pickups in this lack some beef, an easy, reversable thing would be to swap the magnets for Alnico 6 (yes, 6!) or Alnico 8. Either will give you more mid push and that gentle alnico compression

This is a beautiful guitar that you can play and not worry about getting a little ding, with all the Murphy Labs fake aged guitars this is a real survivor, it is hard to understand why an apology for its condition is needed.

Hey Austin, congrats. My opinion, with some wear on the guitar it lends itself to be played! Not only as a collector piece. If you chased and lusted over this thing for years, I would agree the condition would be somewhat of a disappointment but now you can play the darn thing with out worrying a bout a ding or a small sctrach here and there. Enjoy it, my friend, as someone in the past has already!

My friend if I were you I would never get rid of that guitar but there is only one other above that one that you would probably want and it was in a music store in Gulfport, Mississippi many years ago, it was one of six Les Paul's that Les Paul himself had hand carved and put 24-karat gold pick up playted pickup covers on it, it had real mother of pearl in the neck and it was an extra thin Neck it was a very unique looking guitar and they turned down eleven thousand dollars, $11,000.00 for it . Mr Samuel Fitch on the Gulf Coast collected Gibson's and martins and he offered them $10,000 and they wouldn't take it I wish I could remember the name of the music shop I know where it was located in the Hardy Court shopping center I just can't think of the name of that music store, but yes they had an advertisement it was in a glass case nobody could touch it and they said it was only one of six Les Paul's like it in world, and that Les Paul himself hand carved this guitar it was very unique looking and if I ever meet anybody else that knows where that guitar ended up at I will let you know. Also right up the street from it pinkston's music store in Biloxi on the pass road had their music shop and their special guitar was a non-electric guitar and they wanted close to a million dollars for it, it had a picture of Glenn Armstrong inside a glass case and people can only see it they couldn't touch it and it had real moon dust enclosed with it they said that Mr pinkston was a personal friend of John Glenn Armstrong and that Armstrong took that guitar to the moon and brought it back with him. The people at the chancery vault in Biloxi, Mississippi could tell you who inherited his estste. Mr pinkston Died last year I believe, iand the store was closed, Christie's could probably auction that guitar and the picture and the moondust off for $100,000,000.00

The thing is back in the 70’s and 80’s those and the LP artisan are so heavy and cumbersome they weren’t that desirable. I passed on many of those special LP’s 25/50’s .
