1982 Gibson Les Paul Standard
Summary: The Gibson Les Paul was first produced early in 1952 and it was the very first solid body guitar to be produced by Gibson. The design of the Les Paul has stood the test of time and is still chosen as a mainstay by many players. At the time this Les Paul was built, 1982, Gibson was celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Les Paul. This Les Paul has a classic ebony finish and two great sounding humbuckers. This 10+ pound Les Paul has been played, gigged, and loved. It comes with the original chainsaw hard-shell case and has just been setup by our inhouse technician.
