1973 Gibson – Les Paul Standard – ID 5042

A rare Les Paul Standard from the early Norlin era - Standard models were rather uncommon in the early 70s, as Gibson mainly produced Deluxes with mini humbuckers at the time, could also have been a Custom Order according to the previous owner.
This example was stripped of its lacquer a few years ago after the headstock broke and re-coated with clear lacquer by Peter Coura, but is an authentic vintage player with character and great tone.
It was owned for many years by Kosho (Michael Koschorrek, Söhne Mannheims) for many years.
