PROTOTYPE LES  PAUL 1980

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.
