1978 - Gibson Les Paul 25/50 Anniversary, Les Paul signed, Tobacco Sunburst, Mint

Straight out of a time capsule, this Gibson Les Paul 25/50 is a true gem. It take a lot of convincing and a multi-year back and forth with its proud owner, Victor Giardino, to exchange hands. Victor has treasured this guitar among his most personal possessions, and I can't really blame him (check him out here https://unclevicvrg.com/). Many 25/50 out there (read more here: https://lespaulforum.com/homesite/slubarticle/2550/2550.html) but serial 73228103 has a few special features going on for it: a glorious flame maple that (convince me otherwise), you do not normally find on this model, and the precious signature from Les Paul himself, including the original strings dating to when it played it with Vic. Such a beauty.
