FS: 1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom - No Case, Collection Only (London) £2900 (Drop) - GONE

SquireJapan

Decided to sell my LP custom. I bought this from Ishibashi several years ago, and never really touched it "you have to own a Les Paul" got me.

Had a lot of fun recently "re-discovering" it, but now I've not touched it for a while. I'm really an Ibanez RG guy, so I think I'll put this up for sale.

No idea what to price this at, so starting at £3100 for now.

Now dropped to £2900.

(No trades, unless you have a very cool Jem or J Custom)

It was shipped to me in a nice (but non-Gibson) case that I've repurposed, so no case with this. Also as it's quite expensive I don't want to ship this. I'm in central London, so at least easier for people to get to. I won't entertain any shipping at all ... apologies!

General pictures below. I'll put some more up over the weekend. Please excuse the rug.

EDIT: More pictures here. Ask if you want specifics.

Oof....now you've got me thinking!

More pics tomorrow, I promise (to all those who asked). 

No modifications as far as I’m aware. I took the back off the cover over the pots, all looks original. I’ll take a photo. 

No breaks or anything. Action is very low and buzz free, frets aren’t exactly massive, but I’m told that’s as it came (?)

Effortless class 
top notch.

As Pete Townshend said : "I got a Gibson without a case, but I can't get that even-tanned look on my face"!!

How much does she weigh?

4.5kg from my expensive bathroom scales (9.9lbs apparently from google)

(You see, this is why RGs are better - no one cares about the weight).

Bear in mind that's with 10-46 strings, will be less with lighter gauge ...

Nice thick binding on the cutaway

Blimey, that is a stunner. If you were up here in the midlands I'd definitely have it. Sadly my busted shoulder means I can't drive far at the moment (sob)

Well, see what happens. 

Plenty of nibbles so far, but no bites

There are two bits that look like there was tape stuck on the back that I’ve take more photos, as well as photos of the control cavity.

Gaaa, year of birth guitar and I've always wanted a black LPC.

Sadly I live in the grim north, so I'll just have to dream of what could have been.

Great guitar

A bump, and as requested by a few - pictures of the pickups.

I’ve been putting off doing it as I thought I’d need to put new strings on, but actually I could slacken them off easily.  

For those that care (?) I put the screws back in the same place

I’m not going to bother with taking off the covers, but the numbers seem to line up with this bloke who sold one on Reverb - https://reverb.com/au/item/23894531-1986-gibson-tim-shaw-pat-nr-paf-humbucker-pickup-chrome-cover

I wowed it ,but I’d already wowed it in the past so it de wowed it. Absolutely stonking 
  Good luck with the sale it’s a dream guitar

Bump with a small drop. No trades I’m afraid!

Having a leisurely clear out. 

Now £3000 collected.
