Today for sale is a stunning piece of Gibson history: a 1989 Gibson Les Paul Custom in classic Ebony finish, completely 100% original in every single part and beautifully preserved.

This guitar perfectly embodies the late-80s "Gibson Renaissance" (the golden era right after the Norlin period), widely celebrated by players and collectors for its exceptional wood quality, tight craftsmanship, and massive tone.

Key Specs & Details:

  • Year: 1989
  • Color: Ebony ("Black Beauty")
  • Weight: 4.3 kg (9.4 lbs) — Perfect, highly desirable weight for an 80s Custom!
  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Honest, beautiful play wear that gives it incredible character. Absolutely NO breaks, NO wood cracks, and NO headstock repairs.
  • Originality: 100% stock. Original Gibson Lawrence pickups, pots, wiring, gold hardware, and finish. This is 100% unmodified.
  • Fretboard: Gorgeous, jet-black real Ebony board with genuine Mother of Pearl block inlays. Original frets with plenty of life left. Super low action and neck straight like an arrow.
  • Case: Includes the legendary original Gibson "Chainsaw" Case (Gen 3) with the blue interior. All latches are intact and fully functional. The case alone is a highly sought-after collector's item.

🔊 Tone & Playability:

This guitar delivers endless sustain and that deep, punchy, articulate roar that only a true vintage Custom can produce. From jazz to rock, it's all there.

The neck is straight, the action is low and fast, and the setup is rock solid. It is entirely stage-ready and investment-grade.

💰Price & Logistics:

  • Price: asking 5500 € (that's half of what you are asked for a fake 1989 LPC replica from Gibson)
  • Location / Shipping: Located in Sardinia/Italy. Local pickup is highly preferred, but I am willing to ship in Europe. The guitar will be packed "bulletproof" and shipped fully insured at the buyer's expense.
  • Trades: NO TRADES!

Serious inquiries only. If you think this is overpriced, just move on on something else. Lowballers will be politely ignored. Grab a legendary late-80s Custom before it's gone!
