Black Electric Guitar with Bigsby Vibrato

The item is a black solid-body electric guitar, likely a Gibson Les Paul style, mounted on a wall. It features a single cutaway body shape. The guitar has a black finish on the body and neck, with white binding along the body and neck. The neck is attached to the body with a set neck construction, as is typical of Les Pauls. The fretboard appears to be dark wood, possibly rosewood or ebony, with trapezoid-shaped mother-of-pearl or pearloid inlays. It has a headstock with a multi-layered truss rod cover and features the Gibson logo and 'Les Paul Custom' or similar model designation. The headstock is equipped with six tuning machines with keystone buttons. The guitar is fitted with two humbucker pickups with gold covers. A prominent feature is the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece with a roller bridge, finished in gold. There are four control knobs (likely volume and tone for each pickup) and a three-way pickup selector switch, all with gold hardware. The output jack is located on the side of the body. The overall condition appears to be good with some signs of use and possibly minor wear on the gold hardware, consistent with a used but well cared for instrument. The presence of the Bigsby and gold hardware suggests a higher-end or customized model.
