tepidy Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi everyone. Anybody have any thoughts or insights on an all original 1980 les paul custom. Any info is appreciated. - Teddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 See what they are selling for on eBay, craigslist, etc. Play the guitar before you buy because quality was all over the place. See if you can adjust the truss rod. I saw this because it may have seized over time or any previous owners may have been idiots and cranked on it.

daveinspain Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Nice guitar... I was looking at a 1980 in perfect condition a couple of weeks ago. Hardly and ware or tarnishing in the original case... The guy was asking 2800... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Not sure, but I would bet that it's pretty heavy. Do you know if it has the Tim Shaw p/u's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tepidy Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 not sure about the shaw pickups. Any special markings on plates or just the typical pat #'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenBigsbyCustom Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I wish they would bring the custom back as a not CS model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
