This 1989 Les Paul Custom is a beautifully clean and original example in Alpine White. It comes with the original case.
The Les Paul Custom in Alpine White is one of Gibson's most recognizable configurations. The Custom designation historically indicated the highest-spec Les Paul in the lineup: bound body, ebony fretboard, pearloid block inlays, and multi-ply binding. The Alpine White finish has been associated with the model since its 1970s reintroduction and remains one of the most iconic color options in the electric guitar canon. The pickups are original - a Gibson HBR at the neck (7.27k) and a Gibson HBL at the bridge (13.19k). Potentiometer manufacturer code 137 and date codes 8833 and 8905 are consistent with late-1980s production and help date this instrument. All electronics are original: wiring, pots, switch, jack, and covers.
There are no repairs, changes, or issues with the guitar whatsoever. The frets are in excellent shape, and there is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustment. The setup came out perfect with killer, low action.
