Condition & Playability

This guitar has been well-preserved and meticulously cared for. The original finish displays the natural, sought-after greening typical of late 70s and early 80s Silverbursts, giving it an authentic vintage vibe with no structural damage, breaks, or repairs.

The ebony fingerboard is fast and clean, and the frets have plenty of life left. The neck is straight, the truss rod functions smoothly, and the setup is dialed in with low, comfortable action.

Tone-wise, it delivers everything you expect from a vintage Les Paul Custom: tight bottom-end, aggressive midrange cut, and endless natural sustain.
