Gibson – 1978 Les Paul Standard – Electric Guitar – Wine Red (Factory Second)- w/OHSC – x8560 – VINTAGE
The 1978 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Wine Red is a striking example of Norlin-era craftsmanship, blending vintage aesthetics with powerful tone and playability. Featuring a solid mahogany body and a three-piece maple neck, this guitar delivers the classic Les Paul sustain and warmth with added structural stability. The slim, wide-flat neck profile and rosewood fingerboard offer smooth playability across its 22 frets, while the Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure solid intonation and resonance.
Visually, the Wine Red finish is a standout, giving the guitar a bold yet elegant look that pairs beautifully with its chrome hardware. While some units show honest playwear—such as finish checking, dings, or replaced tuners—they remain highly playable and sonically rich. The 1978 Les Paul Standard is often praised for its low action, straight neck, and vintage tone, making it a favorite among players seeking a reliable workhorse with classic Gibson mojo. Whether you’re a collector or a gigging musician, this model offers a compelling blend of history, tone, and style that continues to resonate decades after its release.
