1986 Gibson Les Paul Custom Alpine White

Description

I’ve been playing this 1986 Gibson Les Paul Custom for over 30 years now, and it’s honestly one of the most comfortable and reliable guitars I’ve ever had. It’s Alpine White — the classic colour that’s always stood out on stage — and it’s got that real, lived-in look from years of actual gigs, not just sitting on a shelf.

The original 1986 serial number is 83466693, and it weighs 4.7kg — nothing too heavy, just the right balance. The pots were also made in ’86, so it’s all original hardware. No repairs, no cracks, no refinishing — I’ve even checked it under UV light to confirm everything’s genuine. The neck plays smooth, the intonation’s spot on, and the truss rod works fine.

I bought it new back in the day, and I still use it regularly — it’s not just a showpiece, it’s a real player’s guitar. The original Gibson Chainsaw case is included too — still in great shape, honestly.

It’s been in my hands for nearly 40 years, so it’s got dings, yellowed finish, worn edges — all the signs of real use. But the sound? Still punchy, clean, and full of character.

I’m based in Dorking, Mole Valley, so if you're local, feel free to pop by or arrange a quick chat. I’m open to part exchanges and I do buy guitars for cash — no haggling, just fair deals. Fully insured shipping available both in the UK and internationally.

If you’ve ever played a vintage Les Paul and felt that classic vibe, this one’s probably going to speak to you. Let me know if you're interested — I’d love to share it with someone who gets the real deal.
