Brand New Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom "1985 Reissue" Charcoal Metallic Gloss
Spec'd by your friends at New York Music Emporium, this is a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom "1985 Reissue" in Charcoal Metallic Gloss. We at the shop have always loved the vibe of the 80's Les Paul Customs in Charcoal, and since they are few and far between (and even fewer in good condition) we chose to take action with the Gibson Custom Shop. This one has the same heart of your regular Les Paul Customs, such as a matched 490/498 humbucker set, a solid Ebony fingerboard, a long neck tenon for maximum sustain and a two-piece maple top over a solid mahogany body - but this one has been crafted with a slimmer, faster playing neck profile (approximately .810" 1st fret / .940" 12th fret) and a dark, un-aged Charcoal Metallic gloss finish.
*Depending on the light, the finish goes from a sparkle grey to almost completely black, so we took the liberty of showcasing the guitar in a different lighting environment in the final picture of this listing.
