THE VERY RARE 1973 - 4 PIECE FLAMED MAPLE TOP LES PAUL
A GREAT 'COLLECTORS' OR UP AND COMING 'ROCK STAR'S' GUITAR
 
Rarely do we see guitars of this quality come through the door. This beautiful 
 LES PAUL STANDARD, but with the flamed 4 piece top is reminiscent of the 58, 59 Les Paul Bursts...Made only 13 years after those classic Bursts and probably by the same guy's. 
One can assume it was destined to be a deluxe/custom but once it was seen that it had a beautiful flamed top it was then put aside and the '2' stamp is because of it's 4 piece top. But this has not effected it's Beauty or value in anyway now, being a 73' standard in itself is quite rare as during the early 70's only very few were made and in 1973. 4 only made..!!
This one finished in 1973 has the Brazilian rosewood fretboard that's fully bound, mother of pearl trapezoid inlays, tuners are now replaced with Gibson Deluxe, (originals were kluson deluxe) the pickups are patent number's, routes are all ok as can be seen, pot's ( dated 1973) and solder all original, jack-plug plate replaced. 
The finish does show player wear and some small dings etc as photographed but of course doesn't effect how it plays and as such yes it's a absolutely great sound guitar worthy of any collector or rockstar dare I say.
