Description

This 1986 Les Paul Custom is a standout example from the post-Norlin era, shedding the common stereotypes associated with the earlier '70s models. Unlike its predecessors, this one features no volute, no pancake body, and no three-piece neck—just pure, timeless craftsmanship. The tone and sustain are exceptional, offering a rich, resonant sound. The guitar showcases a beautiful cherry sunburst finish over a maple top, with a mahogany body and a bound ebony fingerboard on a mahogany neck. It retains its original humbucking pickups, delivering that signature Les Paul warmth and clarity. Thoughtful modifications include a new nut, a refret, and a new bridge. Though it has a bit of heft, it remains in excellent condition and is still a joy to play. Plus, it comes with the original chainsaw hard case
