This is a 1981 Gibson Les Paul Artisan in the Walnut finish. The Artisan was a run built for a short period of time that saw the Les Paul with hearts and flowers fretboard and headstock inlays, a TP6 tailpiece, and gold hardware. A previous owner installed a stopbar tailpiece on this Les Paul, with the original part included in the case. This Artisan is still super clean: there's some light pickup cover tarnishing and worming on the back of the body, but no major dings or dents or even fretwear!
Includes: Original Hardshell Case, TP6 Tailpiece
