"MYSTERY" PROTOTYPE LES PAUL "STANDARD 82" DEALER/EMPLOYEE GUITAR?​​
Super cool 80s Gibson Les Paul!
Amazing color and figuring.
Super “deep dish” contoured carve.
the Tim Shaw pickups sound amazing.
​
​

This LP is somewhat of a mystery, it is either a prototype, dealer/artist guitar, or maybe even an employee guitar because there is no serial number or “Les Paul Model” etching on the headstock.
It’s a super solid guitar with ton of mojo.
I had it authenticated and appraised by Timm Kummer (Gibson Guitar Trader specialist) and he confirmed it's authenticity as a Gibson. It’s believed to be a “Standard 82“ (prototype/artist/or employee guitar?).
The body, pickups, pots, hardware all checks out.
Comes with non-original Gibson hard shell case.
