This ex-celebrity owned forty-nine year old Les Paul Standard weighs 9.30 lbs. and has a fat nut width of 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Solid mahogany body with a 'nicely-flamed solid carved maple top. One-piece mahogany neck with a typically thin early '60 profile. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. Inlaid pearl trapezoid position markers. Two PAF humbucker pickups with outputs of 7.60k and 9.14k. Original Gibson four-latch brown hardshell case with pink plush lining (8.50). The top has uniformly faded-out to a lovely lemon color and is strikingly unique with the grain being a combination of quarter and flat sawn and a distinctive 'eye' on the left-side, yet still having that characteristic fine wavy interlocking figuring across the face. A 100% original example. Ex Howard Leese of Heart and Bad Company.
