1984 Gibson Les Paul Custom in tobacco burst with original Tim Shaw pick ups. This guitar is everything a great Les Paul Custom should be, with lightly figured maple beneath the transparent finish on the top and the power and sustain that only comes with a top of the line Gibson! This guitar has the typical Les Paul weight but is very well balanced, with mass that really adds to the tonal heft of the instrument. There's a very dynamic quality to this instrument, with a clear and commanding sound that is evident even when strummed acoustically. The guitar responds instantly to changes in pick attack and is consistent with the tonal profile of the mahogany-necked early 80’s Les Pauls, The bound ebony fretboard has pearl block inlay. The headstock sports all the hallmarks of a Les Paul Custom, with the split diamond inlay, "Custom" truss rod cover, multi-ply headstock binding and Gibson stamped tuning machines with metal tulip crank buttons. Great Shape, especially for its age, with some hardware tarnishs, two minor indents on back of neck.  Frets have been replaced on this guitar by the Gibson Custom Shop, sitting at 100%. NO Breaks, Cracks or Wood Repairs! Includes an Original Hard-Shell Case. Case latch lock is missing. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. At this time I only ship within the USA.
