1982 Gibson Les Paul Custom 3-Pickup loaded with sought-after Tim Shaw humbuckers, finished in classic Alpine White and paired with its Original Hardshell Case (OHSC). This is the iconic "Black Beauty" platform in white-big, sustaining, and authoritative - with the extra tonal options a 3-pickup layout offers for everything from thick rock rhythm to smooth, vocal lead tones. I removed the original pickguard to demonstrate just how pristine this guitar is - incredibly preserved!

Note: The middle pickup route was professionally done (pro-routed).

Condition is rated at 9.4/10 - Very Good. It shows heavy yellowing to the finish and hardware (that killer vintage "cream" vibe), with typical play wear for its age. There's almost no buckle rash, some finish wear behind the headstock, light wear on the top binding toward the bottom, and light aging to the hardware. All consistent with careful vintage ownership. No breaks or repairs.
