This mid-80s Les Paul Custom is finished in the rare and sought after Silver Burst finish! Associated with artists like Tool's Adam Jones, the Silver Burst has become a highly collectible piece for Gibson enthusiasts, and this example is in very great shape for 40+ years kicking! It features original Patent No. Tim Shaw Pickups and all original pots dating to '84 and '85. There does appear to be some light solder touch up. The neck has a slim profile that feels good all the way down the neck. Cosmetically, it remains largely unblemished with typical aging, and a handful of small scrapes and finish dings.

Includes original chainsaw hard shell case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
