*During the 1980s Gibson made a few short runs of Les Paul reissues for their top dealers in the US. This guitar is from a run of approximately eight hundred made for Leo's Music in Oakland, California, USA between 1980 and 1985. Around half of these were shipped overseas. This guitar was made at the original Gibson Kalamazoo factory before production moved to Nashville in 1983
Condition very acceptable for age. Some minor dings and knocks to the top, although nothing major to note. Back in similar condition with a few patches of surface buckle wear. Neck is clean with a few marks. Fretboard and frets in good shape and showing little signs of use.
Minor tarnishing to metal hardware. Electrics appear original. See images for general guidance
