Factory dark Walnut finish. Gibson les paul custom 1969!!!! I have never seen it's equal!!! I know they made standard walnuts in 68...Manny's music Commissioned a few of them... This worth between 25- 27k ... Because it is one hundred percent original not one thing changed... This thing plays like an absolute dream. I turned dow 20k offer for it the other day!!!. I also have a one hundred percent original standard 82 kalamazoo... I can't believe I bought this standard 82 guitar for 1500$ Right When the pandemic started I had never heard of a standard 82... And apparently the guy that had it didn't know it was Because he would not have sold it so cheap.. I am including that picture also... I still would like to know have any of you seen a dark walnut 69 les paul custom???
I have gruhn appraisal and authentication verification of this guitar in case there are any "nay" sayers!! The case is immaculate also....I was told gruhn wanted this Guitar for his museum!!!!this thing plays like an alien made it..I would put this guitar up against any lp on the planet..I pick it up can't put it down for 8+ hours!!!!made by best luthier gibson ever had in my opinion!!! Wish I knew who. But I do know who owned it before me, A prominent.
Country d j ordered it brand new in late 68 for 69. I have his Eulogy papers that his widow Gave me when she sold it to me. I also just bought a75 wine red custom..absolutely mint also

Nice, thanks for the post, and welcome!

Are you saying that is a 1969 Les Paul Custom with a Walnut finish? Or are you saying it's a custom-made Les Paul from 1969?

It's clearly not a Les Paul Custom.

The bridge does not look like an original; they all had nylon saddles back then, IIRC.

I don't think the knobs are from that era.

It's clearly been refretted too.

Highly quilted maple top in late 60s? No...I doubt it.

Humbuckers on a Les Paul standard? Nope.

Let's see a shot of the binding on the horn-side of the neck.

I'm no expert, but I've never heard of this other than this old thread. Guitar looks totally different from yours and I'd call BS on that one too.

You might do better off with your post if you were to post good pictures of the Walnut 69 you are referring to in the title.

The walnut finish looks beautiful!

Beautiful example of a rare finish from that period. Finishes are one of the toughest thing to verify, but it looks pretty legit to me. If you are selling it online some black light pictures would surely help your cause.

Those personals, recording, professional are one guitar I never had. How are they for playing rock and blues sound wise compared to a humbucker or P-90 equipped guitar?

Even though they are designed to create a cleaner tone than a high impedance guitar, you can get some nice distorted tones. Terry Kath used a Professional in the early days of Chicago.

If you don't mind me asking, what type of music do you like to use it for?

 

[GlassSnuff]

My friend had a Professional in walnut. The low impedance pickups weren't ideal for pushing high impedance amps.

@joe joe , that's one beautiful Custom. Welcome!
