Gibson Les Paul Custom Lite Heritage Cherry Sunburst 1988

Gibson Les Paul Custom Lite Heritage Cherry Sunburst 1988

The Les Paul Custom was released in 1954 as a higher-end model of Gibson's signature model.This time, the rare model "Les Paul Custom Lite" produced by Gibson around 1987-1989 has arrived.The color is Cherry Sunburst and the weight is 4.04kg.This piece gives off a dignified aura of dignity, with natural scratches and deterioration caused by its use.

The "Lite" is designed to be thinner than a regular Les Paul.The customizations at the time were about 5kg, and were probably because they were quite heavy.Its unique design is not a chamber structure but a thinner thickness.

Of course, wood materials are classic, with current classic styles such as a maple top and mahogany back body, ebony fingerboard and speed knob.The binding is only the front, and the pegs are engraved with GIBSON.Just like with regular customizations, this one has luxurious decorations such as split diamonds, perroid blocks, and inlays, and although it is originally often black, this one is rare in combination with cherry sunburst and gold parts.

The pickup is equipped with a gold cover "The Original HB-R/L", commonly known as the "base pickup", on the rear/front.This masterpiece was developed by Bill Lawrence, a leading expert in pickup production, and the well-separated drive focused on the music scene of the 1980s is a very rock-friendly finish.The internal wiring and parts are probably almost original.

The controls are arranged in a rare arrangement for a Les Paul, with a mini toggle switch that can be used with two volumes and one tone, and a coil tap.

The wood is from the 1980s, and perhaps the special humbuckers have a big influence on it, so the power and sound pressure needed to rock is sufficient.It was definitely customised.Above all, it has a heavy sound that is typical of customization, but the lightness of 4kg makes it easy to use, making it difficult to tire on stage or transport.
Don't miss this valuable opportunity as few people will ever let go of these rare models.
