Gibson Certified Vintage 1987 Les Paul Custom

This NOS 1987 Les Paul™ Custom was recently discovered in Gibson’s HQ Vault. It boasts a highly flamed maple top and a gorgeous, original Honey Burst finish. Aside from some of the gold parts, particularly the tuners, showing a small amount of patina, this guitar is in like-new condition. It even has the original plastic on the pickguard!

All hardware, parts, and electronics are original and unmodified. This Les Paul Custom is equipped with two humbuckers™, orange disc tone capacitors, and gold hardware. The original black Protector Case is included, which does have a crack near the tip of the headstock.

Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, or shipment to an address in the US, starting September 28, 2023.
