The Story

Les Paul Custom Ebony 1983

Who doesn't love a Black Beauty Les Paul Custom - especially one with almost 40 years of rock under it's belt. This 1983 Gibson Les Paul Custom is a joy to play and is "one of the good ones."! This guitar features a non-sandwich mahogany body with maple top, a mahogany neck (no volute) topped with an ebony fingerboard, an "80s all the way" Kahler trem, and course all gold hardware. It even has the short-run Gibson tuners with the retractable levers to help tuning! The guitar is in excellent shape for it's age, with only some typical scuffs and scratches and only slightly faded hardware. It includes the original chainsaw case.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
