Gibson Les Paul Custom 3-Pickup Black Beauty Ebony 1989 OHSC
100% original Gibson Les Paul Custom 3-Pickup Black Beauty in Ebony finish made in 1989 with original hardshell case and case candy. This guitar features a solid mahogany body with a double-bound carved mahogany top, mahogany neck and bound ebony fingerboard. Equipped with a 3 Gibson Patent number stamped humbuckers controlled by 2-volume, 2-tone knobs and a 3-way toggle switch. The 24.75" scale length neck has mother of pearl block inlays, 22 vintage frets with a modern C neck profile. The headstock has multi-ply binding with split diamond mother of pearl 35th anniversary inlays . The gold hardware is comprised of Kluson deluxe double-line single-ring tuning machines with aged tulip machine heads, a bone nut, a ABR-1 bridge, and top-hat bell knobs with a 5-ply black/white pickguard.
This guitar is in excellent condition and comes from a very large and well-preserved collection of instruments
that were discovered at an estate sale. The now deceased original owner
went through great lengths to keep the guitars in mint condition
including keeping them locked and hidden in a cage in their factory
cases and boxes. Despite the original owners best attempts there are
still finish flaws on this guitar from the natural aging process.
This is due most likely too fluctuation in temperature and humidity.
There are light surface scratches and minor finish checking which you can only see at certain angles in the light (see photos). Aside from the natural light finish checking and some light surface scratches this guitar
is virtually unplayed with no fret-wear, dings or dents and is 100% original with the
original brown hardshell case with pink pillow insert interior, owners
manual and case candy. Freshly re-strung with 10-46 gauge strings and
setup in standard tuning.
This guitar has been asleep for 30+ years and
is now finally ready to be played! We have added a few photos with
direct lighting to show the checking which is pretty hard to see
otherwise.
Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-46 strings and includes original hard shell case.
