Gibson Les Paul Custom Ebony 1980
Description
Description
This second hand guitar is in good condition
Some wear to the finish on the back of the neck, some scratches on the body.
Case , while vintage, may not be original.
Build & Craftsmanship
- Body: Solid mahogany with a maple top , classic tonewood combo for warmth and bite.
- Neck: Mahogany set neck with an ebony fretboard , smooth, fast, and luxurious under the fingers.
- Finish: Glossy Ebony with multi-ply binding
- Hardware: Gold-plated tuners, bridge, and tailpiece , aged to a tasteful patina over time.
The craftsmanship from this era is robust. While Norlin-era 1980 Gibson Customs are often praised for its solid feel and attention to detail. Expect a heavier body, but also a sustain monster.
Tone & Electronics
- Pickups: Typically outfitted with T-Top humbuckers or early Shaw PAFs — articulate, punchy, and vintage-voiced.
- Controls: Standard Les Paul layout , two volume, two tone, three-way toggle.
Tonally, this guitar delivers thick, creamy mids, tight lows, and singing highs. It’s ideal for hard rock, blues, and metal, but versatile enough for jazz and fusion. The ebony fretboard adds snap and clarity, especially for lead work.
Playability
- Neck Profile: Medium to slim , comfortable for most hands, with a fast feel.
- Weight: heavy, not for the faint of shoulder, but the sustain is worth it.
- Frets: Low and wide , typical of Customs from this era, great for fast runs and bends.
Vintage Appeal
- The 1980 Les Paul Custom is a collector’s dream and a player’s workhorse. It’s not just a pretty face — it’s a tone machine with serious mojo.
- The aging of the gold hardware, yellowed binding, and lacquer checking adds character that no reissue can replicate.
Pros
- Legendary tone and sustain
- Ebony fretboard, premium feel and sound
- Iconic aesthetics with vintage patina
- Built like a tank , reliable and road-ready
The 1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom in Ebony is more than a guitar — it’s a statement. Whether you're chasing Randy Rhoads tones or just want a piece of rock history, this axe delivers. It’s bold, beautiful, and brutally effective. It is heavy though, not ideal for long gigs without a good strap
