The Story

1985 Les Paul Standard Cherry Sunburst

This is a 1985 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Cherry Sunburst - a great mid '80s Rocker of a Les Paul with a comfortable weight and great feel. There's a three-piece maple top with a mahogany body and neck. The guitar retains the original Tim Shaw humbuckers and has had the bridge, tailpiece, tuners and harness all switched out. The original harness is included in the case with CTS pots, Bumblebee caps, Grover tuners and a fresh output jack installed in the guitar for upkeep and maintenance needed over the years. There's slight binding cracking around the edges of the frets and a few nicks and dings around the body but it is still super clean for a guitar that's over 40 years old. It includes a non-original hardshell case with the parts.

Includes: Non-Original Hardshell Case, Original Harness, Bridge and Tailpiece
