les paul questions

[gmbob22]

Anyone know what les pauls were available with maple necks and ebony boards, slim profile neck im thinking the mid-late 70's customs?

Really i have no clue, any input would be appreciated

Norlin era Customs had maple necks and ebony boards. The current Gibson Zakk Wylde bullseye Custom also has those specs.

My 81 custom has those specs.

As does my 1977 Custom.

I went looking for the same exact thing. Look for 77 to 81 Customs to be on the safe side. You might get maple with 75-76 or 82 as well. I liked 77 because they went back to a solid body. John Sykes uses a 78. Not sure what year Zakk is using.

I believe zakks original bullseye is an 81. My 78 standard has the 3pc maple neck but rosewood board... I have a 93 standard ltd ed that has an ebony board but mahogany neck. Youre right on 77-81 customs... dunno what year they went back to mahogany.

1982. Trust me, I researched which years had maple necks when I went looking for mine.

I'm guessing that as with most guitar manufacture dates, there is some spillover? Cos I had an '83 Custom that had a maple neck.

Absolutely. Do you have any pictures of it (the maple neck and the headstock s/n)?
