Im not sure how to add photos here??

Im looking for an early to mid 70's Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, Standard or maybe ES 335

I love this Strat however I have a JM from 61' and would like to get back into Les Paul's.

The details are as follows;

Early 1973 Fender Stratocaster with very rare Mocha finish and even rarer 73' black bobbin pickups.

Body: Original Fender Custom colour 'Mocha' showing grain under finish.
Neck: Maple with dot inlays.
Fender water decal logo intact.

Pickups/Hardware: Three original staggered pole pickups, with code 144073 stamped on bottom. Original middle pickup has recently been rewound by Lindy Fralin in the US. Pickup selector switch is original 3 way. Fender 'F' tuners. Bridge saddles are in great condition and move freely. Pots date 49th week 1972. Serial number 514644 on neck plate. Note previous name and id number etched into metal plate.

Cosmetic Condition: Honest play wear throughout. No breaks or cracks. Light natural checking looks great in this thin finish. Condition is well loved, not abused. Playability: Frets show little play wear with plenty of life left.

Weight: Super comfortable at 3.5 Kilo's.

Case: Fender hard case in great condition. Handle intact. All hinges and intact. One latch is not functioning.

This is really an amazing guitar and the black bobbins are awesome.

If you have a Deluxe in original condition with case let me know.
