Truly Stage or Studio Ready!
Here is a golden treasure that is sure to give you more than a rush. This stunning mojo infused 1981 Les Paul carefully crafted at the original Gibson Kalamazoo factory, will surely inspire you with some magic. The Heritage Series Standard 80 was Gibson's first true attempt at a reproduction of the legendary late 50's Les Paul Standard and it remains mostly true to vintage spec with some subtle variations. This beauty features a single cutaway solid mahogany body, a maple top, mahogany neck and dark, luscious rosewood fingerboard. It sports two Tim Shaw PAF's that are incredible sounding and pay an homage to the original PAF's of the late 50's. It has mahogany neck with a full and chunky 50's profile. The maple top has a correct 50's top carve with quite the impressive belly. Overall this guitar is in fine shape with plenty of character. It shows obvious signs of being rocked out while not being abused and overall pretty well kept. There is plenty of mojo including dings, dents, buckle rash, etc. all that add to the vibe and take nothing away from the top tier playability. We have sold hundreds of Les Pauls and can spot a good when they come in. This one checks off all the boxes. Looks, sound and playability are all super sweet and will surely impress any Gibson enthusiast.

It has just been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
