Item Details
Description
1974 Gibson 20th Anniversary Les Paul Custom Reissue, Gordon Waller (Peter & Gordon) Collection. UNRESERVED. Serial#: 99113619. In 1974, Gibson decided to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Les Paul Custom model. This was Gibson's first anniversary model electric guitar, but why Gibson chose to celebrate the Les Paul Custom first is anyone's guess. Regardless, it was a successful marketing effort that led to numerous Gibson anniversary models over the years. While Gibson made the 20th Anniversary Les Paul Custom for several years, only models made in 1974 have “TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY” in block lettering enscripted on the 15th fret block inlay, as seen on this example. This guitar also has all of the typical features of a mid-70s Les Paul Custom, including neck volute, three-piece body, "waffle back" tuners, and "witch hat" control knobs.

This guitar belonged to Gordon Waller (of Peter & Gordon fame), and the case that accompanies this lot is stamped with his initials.
