eddyboy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just posted new Photo's I have a 1976 Deep Green Gibson Les-Paul Custom. Anyone have any info on it.. it seems like a strange duck. there is a receipt of purchase from august 24th 1976. There is a sticker on the body, I removed the rest and there is no staining, so they can't have been on there very long. Has a nice sound and everything seems original. very fast neck. Beautiful deep wood grain http://s840.photobucket.com/user/eddyboy1980/library/1976%20Green%20Gibson%20Les%20Paul%20Custom?sort=3&page=1 My Guitars: 1972 Les Paul Custom Black 1973 Les Paul Custom Black (sanded) 1974 Les Paul Custom Black 1976 Les Paul Custom Black 1976 Les Paul Custom Dark Green 1976 Les Paul Standard Natural 1976 Les Paul Standard Natural Blonde 1976 Les Paul Artisan 1977 Les Paul Artisan 1979 Les Paul Standard Custom Paint 1981 Les Paul deluxe Gold Top 1983 Les Paul Standard Cherry Burst 1988 Les Paul Custom White 1 1988 Les Paul Custom White 2 1993 Les Paul Standard Gold Top 1993 Les Paul Standard Cherry Burst 1964 SG Cherry 1999 SG Cherry 2001 SG Light Burst. 1978 Flying V Cherry 1982 Flying V Black 1993 Flying V White. 1976 Explorer Brown 1976 Explorer RWB 2007 Reverse Flying V Natural 1 2007 Reverse Flying V Natural 2 mid 60's EB0 bass Sparkle Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtim Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Looks like an ex marine who is a football fan that has a British heritage may have once owned your les paul. I have never saw a green custom but it does look good if it were not for all of those goofy stickers on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah, could have been a "special order" custom color, to match his love of the "Green Bay Packers?" Who knows?! Might have been a Pelham Blue, that's just faded to green, too. That's not all that uncommon.

eddyboy Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks for the response.. Yeah, the pelham looks similar in the green, but this custom is a dark transparent green over a lovely wood grain. I spoke to an 80 year old luthier from Kalamazoo, who told me there were a bunch of "one off" colors made in 75 and 76 for the bi-centenial. But can't seem to find anyone else to back that up yet.

eddyboy Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I got it from a Brit who was leaving the country and His son was in the US Marines. I asked about the Green Bay packers stickers and all He said was He hated Football..Weird response.. :) I purchased several guitars from Him and they were all stickered in the same way with the marine emblem and the Brit flag on the pick guard. And those strange reflective numbers on all the units. I got em all so cheap, I ain't complaining.
