Seller's description

This 1989 Gibson Les Paul Custom, serial number 83439529, with all potentiometer dates marked "89," was built in 1989. It features a classic wood configuration: a maple top and mahogany back body, a short-tenon mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard. It is equipped with the original HB-R/L pickups. Known as “circuit board pickups,” the HB-R/HB-L were developed in collaboration with Bill Lawrence to meet the high-gain preferences of the era. Combined with this guitar’s weight of 4.35 kg, they deliver a strong midrange presence, fast-attacking highs, tight lows, and a well-balanced overall sound. * The neck has been refinished. The pickguard is missing, and the parts show signs of tarnish, rust, and peeling or lifting plating. Weather checking is visible across the headstock and body, and there is paint fading on the headstock’s tapered section. The top of the headstock has paint chips, cracks, and dents, and there is a small dent with paint cracking on the 9th fret of the neck. There is paint cracking extending from the rear escutcheon to the neck joint on the top of the body, and there are numerous scratches and dents throughout the instrument. Condition Grade: B+: Some scratches are present, but the instrument is suitable for normal use.
