The Story

1987 Les Paul Custom Cherry Sunburst

This is a crazy clean 1987 Les Paul Custom in a bright and vibrant Cherry Sunburst finish over the maple top. It really looks like this guitar was played for a few shows and then sat under the bed the rest of its life. There's one small ding on the neck, and some light scratches on the back plate - that's it! The burst is still bright and unfaded, and all of the fret life is there. At 9 lbs, 10 oz - it's not that heavy for a Les Paul Custom, either! The original Gibson Protector case comes with it, as well.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
