The Story

Les Paul Custom Silverburst 1982

Here's an awesome 1982 Gibson Les Paul Custom, in the coveted Silverburst finish. This one although has play wear to the body, is still very silver and hasn't turned green as many others from the era do. The guitar has a solid mahogany body, a refretted ebony fretboard with larger frets that are great for fast riffing, and has a mini-toggle that was installed for more pickup options, although it is not currently wired to do anything...you can wire it up to coil-tap or phase, which ever you like! There are some small dings around the body, and finish wear to the bottom of the body near the bridge pin. There are also two strap pin holes on the back of the body, where someone at one point had an unorthodox placement of a strap, perhaps. It's got a great feeling 'not too chunky nor slim' neck and is very resonant. There are even two rare Gibson parts for the time; the crank tuners and a Gibson Top Adjust bridge. The original Gibson protector case is included as well.

Includes: Original Gibson Hardshell Case
