A 1980's Gibson Les Paul Custom is a high-end, Nashville-built electric guitar known for its luxurious appointments and powerful tone. Typical examples feature a mahogany body with a carved maple top, a three-piece maple neck with an ebony fretboard, multi-ply binding, and gold hardware. The “Custom” model’s hallmark is its smooth playability and thick, sustaining sound, often delivered by Tim Shaw–era humbuckers used in the early ’80s. With its elegant looks and robust build, an 80's Les Paul Custom is considered a desirable vintage instrument among players and collectors alike.
