1982 Gibson Les Paul Custom - Ivory White (Pre-owned)
Here we have an all-original 1982 Gibson Les Paul Custom in Ivory White, featuring the much sought-after Tim Shaw humbuckers. With its classic Custom appointments, multi-ply binding, block fingerboard inlays and gold hardware, this is a particularly attractive example of Gibson’s flagship Les Paul model from the early 1980s.
The guitar remains in very good condition, with the usual signs of playing wear and natural lacquer checking consistent with its age. There are also some reddish discolourations to the finish, possibly resulting from contact with a guitar stand. The original Ivory White finish has developed a lovely warm, yellowed appearance over the years, giving the guitar plenty of vintage character. A great opportunity to own an increasingly collectible, all-original Les Paul Custom.
