{"product_id":"858670","title":"Gibson VINTAGE Les Paul Custom '89 Alpine White","description":"The Les Paul Custom, which debuted in 1954 as a Les Paul model for jazz musicians, boasted a luxurious look inherited from the high-end archtop guitars of the time. After many twists and turns, it has become a beloved instrument among rock musicians and remains an immensely popular guitar to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This particular guitar is a 1989 model. The white Les Paul Custom first appeared around 1974. It remains a highly sought-after specification today, thanks to its use by legendary guitarists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The total weight is approximately 4.2 kg. The body is made of maple top and mahogany back. The Alpine White topcoat has aged nicely, resulting in a lovely creamy finish. There are some weather checking, occasional small dents and scratches, and some peeling and tarnishing of the gold hardware, but considering its age, it is in remarkably good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck is a single piece of mahogany without a volute. The fingerboard is made of rare ebony. Although there is some paint chipping on the side of the neck and some tarnishing on the metal parts, it is in very good condition, similar to the body. The tuners function well with little variation in winding. The frets and nut show only slight wear, and playability is good. The nut width is 43.4mm. It has a relatively clean neck shape compared to other Les Paul models.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical System]\u003cbr\u003e The controls are the familiar Les Paul model setup: a 3-way pickup selector, two volume controls, and two tone controls. The pickups are two \"The Original\" humbuckers, characterized by their distinctive circuit board wiring on the back. The bridge pickup has a higher output than the neck pickup, making it a modern setup. Although there has been some solder retouching, the control components, including the pickups, are in excellent condition, just as they were back then.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While possessing a powerful feel, it also boasts a well-defined attack thanks to the materials characteristic of a Les Paul Custom (ebony fingerboard\/maple top\/mahogany back). The neck position delivers a thick, creamy lead tone, while the bridge position outputs a powerful drive sound. Its main appeal is undoubtedly its extended sustain and the rich, pleasing distortion sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Gibson replacement hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4.3kg\u003cbr\u003e Body Material (Top\/Back): Maple 2 piece\/Mahogany 1 piece\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material\/Scale Length: Mahogany 1 piece, non volute\/624mm (24-1\/2inch)\u003cbr\u003e Bridge\/Tail: Gibson ABR-1 Gold\/Stop Tailpiece Gold\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard\/Fret Marker\/Radius: Ebony\/Pearloid Block\/304.8mm (12inch)\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width\/Fret Width: 43.4mm\/2.5mm, 22F\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/12F): 21.0mm\/23.0mm\/24.2mm\u003cbr\u003e Capacitor: MP 203M 100V\u003cbr\u003e Pickup (Neck\/Bridge): Gibson HB-R The Original Humbucker Gold Cover (7.2kΩ)\/Gibson HB-L The Original Humbucker Gold Cover (13.3kΩ)\u003cbr\u003e *The DC resistance value of the pickup is measured after passing through the control section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43248816226417,"sku":"858670","price":4313.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/VINTAGE_Les_Paul_Custom__89_Alpine_White_01.jpg?v=1779000175","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hant\/products\/858670","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
