Description
Lovies Guitars is delighted to offer this Left-Handed 1985 Gibson Les Paul Custom in a gorgeous Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish! This mid-’80s Custom is a true gem, especially in left-handed orientation, and it’s loaded with highly coveted Tim Shaw PAF-style humbuckers, prized for their dynamic response and vintage-accurate tone. With its carved maple top, solid mahogany body, and an ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlays, this guitar delivers both the looks and the sound that define the Les Paul Custom legacy.
Plugged in, this Les Paul Custom sings with remarkable clarity and warmth. The Tim Shaw pickups deliver that unmistakable early PAF-style tone—articulate, balanced, and bursting with harmonics. Perfect for everything from soaring leads to soulful cleans, this Custom is ready to handle any style with elegance and authority.
This guitar is in 9/10 condition, showing some honest minor aging and buckle rash. There are a few blemishes on the back of the neck, but nothing that impacts playability. Importantly, it remains original, with no repairs or mods. Comes with a hard shell case for safe storage.
