1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom De-Kahler Restoration with Neat Guitars

Here is another project from my friends over ‪@PlayandTradeGuitars‬. We have a 1979 Gibson Les Paul that someone has gotten their hands on with some interesting customization. These Frets are also as flat as a nine chord in a hip Jazz Trio. I will be giving this guitar a re-fret, routing the single coil middle pickup into another humbucker for that "black beauty" 3 pickup look, and finally I'll be Filling and color matching the Kahler compartment rout with a chunk of Mahogony and maple.

This being a "Norlin" era Les Paul made me think about the history of the Les Paul Custom. I came across a very well put timeline article in Mixdown Magazine with words by Lewis Noke Edwards, Link HERE - https://mixdownmag.com.au/features/th...
