WTB Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst

jamiexsilver

I know it's a long shot but here goes.

I'm looking to buy a Les Paul custom Silverburst preferably a 1980 but would consider others, I'm not interested in the newer reissued ones. 

There's a 1982 on reverb at the minute but it's over 3k which is over my budget.

I watched one sell on eBay last April for 2k and I kick myself everyday for not bidding on it but I didn't have the cash then.

Please let me know if you have one or know anyone or even see one in a shop for sale. 

Thanks.

Not sure if this SM version is any use:

Never dealt with the shop and I'm in no way affiliated by the way, just remember drooling over it on a lunch break recently

I've never heard of the S.M. It's tempting but I think I'm set on a custom. But thank you so much.

https://www.guitarexperience.co.uk/gibson-les-paul-custom-silverburst-1979.html. It’s been for sale for a couple of months so i suspect there’s some wiggle room on the price.

It’s a 1979 but hey what’s a years difference, probably hit the shop in 1980

I remeber these models going for c.800quid in the late 90's!
