🎸 1983 Gibson Les Paul Standard – Tobacco Burst w/ Factory Kahler Tremolo + Chainsaw Case

Here’s a rare and exceptionally clean example of early '80s Gibson craftsmanship: a 1983 Les Paul Standard in Tobacco Burst, featuring the factory-installed Kahler tremolo system and a distinctive 3-piece top—just like the famed Les Paul nicknamed “Jessica” by Slash himself. If you know, you know.

Condition: Very Good overall. Light play wear from honest use, but remarkably clean for its age. Frets are in great shape with plenty of life left, and the top still shines with vintage character.

Key Features:

• 3-piece maple top reminiscent of Slash’s “Jessica” Les Paul

• Factory Kahler tremolo system (arm is era-correct but not original)

• Original Gibson humbuckers and untouched electronics

• Metal control cavity cover still intact

• Original Gibson Chainsaw case included (also in Very Good condition)

This guitar blends classic Les Paul tone with early '80s innovation. The Kahler trem offers expressive flexibility without sacrificing sustain, and the 3-piece top adds a unique visual and tonal signature that sets it apart from later models.

Whether you're a player chasing vintage tone or a collector seeking a standout piece with rock history vibes, this one hits the mark.
