Vintage Gibson Les Paul Artist 1979 Tobacco Burst w/original chainsaw case
The 1979 Gibson Les Paul Artist in Tobacco Burst is a rare gem from the late Norlin era, designed with innovative active electronics co-developed with Moog. This unique model features active bass, mid, and treble boost circuits with a built-in compressor and expander, offering an incredibly wide tonal palette not found in standard Les Pauls. The body is made from mahogany with a carved maple top, paired with a three-piece maple neck and an ebony fingerboard. Gold hardware, TP-6 fine tuning tailpiece, and its original “chainsaw” protector case round out the package. A true collector’s piece for those seeking vintage tone and standout features.
