Description

Gibson Les Paul KM (Kalamazoo) with Case 1979 – Cherry Sunburst

This 1979 Gibson Les Paul K.M. has been professionally set up with exceptionally low action and offers a smooth, comfortable playing experience. The neck is straight, the guitar plays cleanly up and down the fretboard, and the frets retain plenty of life for years of continued use.

The guitar is being listed in Good condition due to cosmetic wear consistent with its age and regular use. The top shows various dings, scratches, and finish wear, particularly in the area surrounding the control knobs. The back exhibits more substantial buckle rash and finish wear, while the finish on the back of the body has darkened over time compared to the top and neck. Additional finish wear is present along portions of the neck’s sides. The original poker chip switch ring is cracked but remains intact.

Overall, this is a solid vintage player’s instrument that retains the character and appeal expected from a late-1970s Gibson.
