HOLY SH*T 1973 Gibson Les Paul Custom - THE THUMPER

[@gdasilva]

Killer tone. I have a similar 73 LPC that was Kim Simmonds' main guitar in the late 80s-early 90s. Awesome as well. Still loving the 61 Tele Custom I got from you, brother!

Hey Buddy, great to hear from you. You definitely have some awesome guitars in your collection. Let me know if you ever sell the Tele, I might buy it back 😊👍 Best wishes

[@gdasilva]

@@floydsvintageguitars Oh that would be a tough one to let go! It's one of the most dynamic guitars in my small collection, but I will give you first dibs for sure if that time ever came 🙂

@gdasilva thank you bud, I appreciate it. Let me know if you are ever looking for something in particular, I have some great gear at the moment. Kind regards

If you want to help narrow down what year this is, open the back cover and read the numbers on the pots. If they are original pots, the first five numbers should read 13773- - - the fourth and fifth number indicate the year. Numbers six and seven will indicate which month in that year the potentiometers were made… There you go. I also have a 73 black beauty.

70s LPs are incredible instruments, in fact many from the 70s are my 73 strat makes todays strats seem like garbage

[@floydsvintageguitars]

I absolutely agree 100% 👍👍

Hi Floyd, looks like a Duncan Invader in the bridge, or is it a boutique job? Sounds great, and I love your bomb shelter with both necessities: guitars and a keg. Nice one.

Hey David, you have the eyes of an eagle! I do believe it is a Duncan Invader. Thanks for the bunker comment, I recently moved my playing space into my barn where Im able to push amps to their limit 😊 I'm deaf for hours afterward, but its a great place to play in.
