1986 Gibson Les Paul Standard Ebony Black w/Tim Shaw PAF pickups

Up for sale is an incredible 1986 Gibson Les Paul Standard in a superb Ebony Black finish. this is one of the last ones made with the Tim Shaw PAF pickups. Made in USA, All Original, stock with its Black tolex hard case. If you know about Les Pauls, you knows these early to mid ’80s are special.

9.9 Lbs, which is average for a Les Paul.

The guitar has an Incredibly comfortable neck with rosewood fretboard. It is perfectly straight, allowing pretty low action playing amazingly well all across the fretboard.

Aesthetically, the guitar has been definitely used and there are definitely some honest little dings, scratches and edge wear. There’s a tiny little crack on the pickguard (barely noticeable) however the yellowed binding accross the body and neck along with the glossy nitro lacquer finish brings a killer look. The headstock has plenty of cracks on the gloss clear coat, you can actually see has worn off at one of the corners, however there’s no crack nor damage on the wood whatsoever. The guitar still remains in great shape overall and it’s got tons of mojo over decades of honest playing. Ideal for a player that is looking for a real Les Paul that is way better, cooler and better sounding guitar than any current Les Paul Standard.

The Tim Shaw PAF pickups shows the Patent number, pots are dated ’85 and everything appears to be all original.

It will be professionally packed, insured and shipped out to Continental US only. Local Pickup in LA is also welcome at no cost.
