Hi All,
Whilst on a business trip I spotted a nice looking black EGC LP Custom. Dealer says its '1976'.
Looks like a mahogany body, maple top, mahogany neck, fret edge binding. Very dark fretboard - rosewood?. He says it has original p/u's with readings 7.59 K Ohms DC neck and 7.66 KOhms DC bridge. First time Ive ever known someone measure that! Plays nice.
Will get some piccys in due course. Its set neck and looked in good nick.
My question....Having browsed the forum doesn't seem the late 70's are held in as high esteem as the 80's. Is that true? If so is that poorer quality full stop or just erratic quality? ie Some very good, some not.
It wasn't cheap, but doubtless he would take an offer for cash, (?750).
