Les Paul Custom Green

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
