Gibson / Les Paul Standard / 1981 / Tobacco Sunburst / Guitar
|
A stunning 1981 Gibson Les Paul Standard
This guitar is in stunning condition. The plain top and tobacco sunburst finish have an understated class There are very little signs of wear anywhere on the body and it's evident that this guitar has led a charmed life.
The single piece maple neck and rosewood fretboard show no signs of use. There is plenty of life left in the frets.
Plastics are unmarked as is the hardware.
Case included is an era correct Gibson chainsaw case.
Electronically we have a pair of Tim Shaw Humbucking pickups married to some CTS pots, dated 1980. All looks untouched.
Sonically this guitar ticks quite a few boxes. The guitar has a good weight of 4.34Kg and it certainly has all the sonic hallmarks of a great Les Paul. The neck pickup is smooth and clear and the bridge has plenty of bite without ever sounding harsh or brittle. Mixed together there is plenty of clarity and none of the midrange heaviness you would expect.
A future classic or simply a great Les Paul, grab this one before it gets away…
