This is a Gibson Les Paul I purchased in 1979 in the Chicago area and hasn't been used for the last 20 years or so, it has a few modifications that were done in the 80s or 90s.
1. Originally cherry, it was professionally refinished to gold in the 80s.
2. The original bridge was replaced with a Kohler bridge and locking nut about the same time which allowed the used of their whammy bar. I don't think the Floyd Rose systems were available at the time and it was the 80s ! (this did require some routing) . Original bridge is included.
3. The tuning pegs were replaced with tuning pegs off my Gibson SG shortly after I purchased it in 1979. I think I just thought they looked cooler.
4. The bridge pick up was replaced in the 90s with a Seymour Duncan humbucker although I can't remember exactly which one.
It lives inside an Epihone Les Paul hard shell case included that will be packed inside a good solid box.
Other than all that it is a genuine early 70s Les Paul serial # 127295. If I knew then what I know now I would have left it intact but it rocked out well in the 20th century !!
Just realized this is the guitar I was playing for my Ebay profile pic from about 20 years ago !
Happy to answer any questions.

I wouldn’t recommend doing it though as the routing that was done for the Kohler would become visible.
