Well, I've had my 1976 The Les Paul in natural finish for many years, and have always been on the lookout for the "right" The Les Paul in the rarer wine red finish. I finally found the one I was looking for!
Great experience in dealing with Ray and Lee at Grinning Elk Music! Thanks guys!
These were true "art guitars" before Gibson started a Custom/Art/Historic Division. For those of you that don't know a lot about this model, read this article:

The carved rosewood parts on this guitar (pickguard, knobs, switch ring, input jack cover, binding) is a lighter color than that used on my natural finish model, and I think it is very striking. The guitar is heavy, as all of these are, but I played it tonight and it really feels good and sounds great!
I don't recall ever seeing a photo of both The Les Pauls in the two colors that they were manufactured in together - so here are a few for you! :dude:
