The 1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom represents the late "Norlin era" of Gibson production. By 1980, Gibson had phased out the 1970s "pancake" layered bodies in favor of traditional solid mahogany backs, but retained the highly stable 3-piece maple necks typical of the period.
The comprehensive factory and structural specifications for a standard 1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom include:
Body & Construction
• Body Type: Solid body, single-cutaway
• Back Material: Solid 1-piece Mahogany (No longer the multi-layered "pancake" style body)
• Top Material: 3-piece carved Maple cap (Some rare exceptions feature a 2-piece top)
• Binding: Multi-ply (7-ply) white/black purfling on the top, multi-ply on the back
• Weight Range: Typically heavy, ranging from 10.0 lbs to 11.0 lbs (4.5 kg to 5.0 kg)
Neck & Fingerboard
• Neck Material: 3-piece Maple (Provides a snappier tone and excellent stability against warping)
• Neck Joint: Set-neck construction
• Neck Profile: Slim-to-medium "C" shape
• Headstock features: Standard small volute (neck reinforcement bump behind the nut), distinct 14-degree headstock pitch angle
• Fingerboard Material: Genuine Ebony with multi-ply binding
• Inlays: Mother of Pearl block inlays; split-diamond inlay on the headstock
• Scale Length: 24.75 inches (24-3/4")
• Fingerboard Radius: 12 inches
• Number of Frets: 22 frets (Historically low/flat profile wire, sometimes called "Fretless Wonders")
• Nut Width: 1-11/16 inches (~1.687" / 43mm)
Electronics & Pickups
• Pickups: Dual humbuckers. Transition era: Depending on the exact month of production in 1980, units shipped with either late-70s "T-Top" stamped humbuckers or the newly introduced "Tim Shaw" PAF-reissue humbuckers (notable for their ink-stamped numbers on the baseplates).
• Controls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone pots (typically stamped with 13780XX or 13779XX CTS source codes).
• Switching: 3-way switchcraft toggle switch (Neck / Both / Bridge)
• Shielding: Standard metal shielding "can" enclosing the internal pot cavity.
Hardware
• Hardware Finish: Gold plated standard (though nickel-plated variants were technically offered in catalogs).
• Bridge: Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge (wider footprint than earlier ABR-1 bridges to accommodate easier intonation tracking).
• Tailpiece: Zinc stopbar tailpiece.
• Tuning Machines: Gibson-branded Schaller tuners with "keystone" buttons (or optional crank-style "winder" tuners).
• Pickguard: Multi-ply black plastic.
Aesthetics & Finishes
• Finishes: Nitrocellulose lacquer. Stock colors included Ebony (Black), Alpine White (which typically ages into a creamy/yellowish banana hue over time), Wine Red, Tobacco Sunburst, Cherry Sunburst, and Natural.
• Case: Originally shipped in either the Gibson plush-lined black hardshell case or the legendary heavy-duty polymer "Chainsaw" molded case
