1979–1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom – Silverburst
Note: I only realized after taking the photos that the B string was off the saddle. Fixed now!Why spring for a reissue when you can own the real deal?
- Condition: No cracks, breaks, or repairs—just honest finish wear And checking in place. The Silverburst still looks fantastic.
- Neck: Comfortable medium-C profile (nowhere near a baseball bat).
- Weight: 10 lbs.
- Dating: Hardware and components span the late ’70s into early ’80s. The serial number places it in early 1980—about the 88th guitar stamped that year.
- Electronics: The bridge pickup was swapped out in the past, but the original pickup (found in the case) has been reinstalled; minor solder touch-up is visible. Everything else remains factory-original.
- Playability & Tone: Classic Custom bite with plenty of sustain—plays and sounds exactly like a great vintage Gibson should.
- Case: Original “protector” chainsaw case included. Only one latch is functional but it does the job fine; I’ll tape it securely for shipping.
A vintage Silverburst Custom in excellent shape—ready to gig, record, or add to your collection.
