Price reduced for today only! 1982 Gibson 30th Anniversary Les Paul Gold Top This is a gold top model commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Gibson Les Paul, a model that doesn't come up for sale often. The body top is maple, the body back is 1-piece mahogany, and the neck is 1-piece. This particular guitar has a 1-piece mahogany neck (an optional specification at the time). The headstock is a small, non-volute design with a 17° headstock angle (there is a dent on the headstock top, please check the images). The 19th fret features a special 30th Anniversary inlay. The serial number starts with A, followed by a 4-digit number starting with 0. The frets have about 60% life remaining and are original. The tuners are the rare double-ring anniversary model parts, with no deformation and fully functional. The pickups, the key to the sound, are the original "Tim Shaw PAF" pickups. As you can see from the numbering on the back (in the images), they are from 1982. The pots have been replaced by a professional shop due to age-related wear (the original pots are also included). Natural weather checking, which is starting to appear, can be seen on the front and back of the body, neck, and headstock (see images). There is some verdigris near the elbow area, which I think will become even more appealing over time. The lacquer finish is in good condition and looks beautiful. The hard case is not original, but a Custom Shop case. The capacitors have been replaced with 1930s Zenith capacitors (see images). I love the vintage feel and wide range of sound they provide, but I don't want to change the current setup, so I'll include them as is. I highly recommend experiencing them. I don't have the equipment to measure the weight, but I remember it being around 4.5 kg. The neck is very stable, and I rarely need to adjust the truss rod, and there's still room for adjustment within the normal range (I haven't checked how far it can be turned, as I'm afraid to). Overall, the condition is good. This guitar retains as many original parts as possible. I have checked it carefully, but there may be some oversights in specialized areas. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments. I am a non-pet, non-smoking environment. Shipping will be done with ample cushioning, and the hard case will be placed in a dedicated cardboard box for shipping.
