***Lowest price for this year/guitar, anything I found less has major mods or crack repairs***
Late 80's which was a great era for Les Pauls....and life! I bought this guitar about 15 years ago so I can only guarantee info on what I have done and know.
You will be hard pressed to come across a cleaner 1988 Gibson Les Paul Custom in classic Black Beauty finish. There is a small dent near toggle, a small chip near bottom strap button, tiny wear near headstock horns (see pics). ZERO bucks rash which is very rare. No cracks or repairs of any kind whatsoever.
A refret has been done by a professional luthier (D'angelo Guitars in NJ). The pickups are not original and are flawless under the covers as I popped covers on for a different look, you can easily remove them for a more modern vibe.
One of the coolest parts to me is the white binding has started to yellow which can be seen better in outdoor pics.
I am selling because I have 4 other Les Pauls and I dont play this one as much and would love to get a cherry burst (Ace) in its place and this one deserves to be played A LOT

The neck is not the pencil thin taper neck nor is it a baseball bat, it is in between and just right. It's a very comfortable C shape which was common on late 80's LPC
It comes with the brown leather hard case as pictured. The lock latch is broken as I locked it by mistake and did not know combo, so I had to pry open.
