Gibson / LES PAUL HERITAGE 80 STANDARD / 1981 / CHERRY SUNBURST / Guitar
|
This guitar's flames are absolutely stunning, really an exceptional guitar. Everything is just perfect and clean: chrome plated hardware in excellent shape, a few light belt-buckle marks, minimal traces of wear. All-original hardware: Grover Rotomatic tuners, Nashville-style bridge, knobs, etc. The four original potentiometers are all dated 1980. The pickups are two original Tim Shaw PAFs with the typical stamp on the bottom: 137 181 for the neck unit and 138 181 for the bridge. The first three digits are common to all the Shaws and specify the pickup position (neck/bridge), while the last three or four indicate month and year (in this case it's January 1981). The sound of this guitar clearly explains why the Les Paul / Tim Shaw association has become a Gibson legend. This guitar is ready for the gig: excellent playability, nice frets and low action, straight neck with a beautifully rounded shape. The serial number on the headstock's back is followed by the Made In USA stamp and the limited edition number, 1604. The few flaws are: a correct but non original truss-rod cover (no model's name) 'security locks' strap buttons instead of the originals a recent Gibson brown case.
