70's Les Paul 3 piece neck?

sibyrpunk · 09-18-2010, 12:12 PM

Does anyone know if Gibson was producing guitars with 3 piece necks in the 70's. I saw this one on ebay,150493729482,going pretty cheap at the moment.
Guitar dater says the guitar was produced in the early 70's,70,71,72. Could be interesting. Sorry the link would not work.

Yep.. Just about ALL of them have three piece necks from the '70s.

That's why we have this place...

Yes, they were three piece necks and some during the mid 70s were three piece maple instead of mahogany. My early 70s custom has a three piece mahogany neck and my 77 standard has a three piece maple neck.
