GIBSON 1980 THE PAUL Firebrand! Natural Les Paul T-Top PU All Original! 40691
Description
This is a 42-year-vintage 1980 Gibson Firebrand Les Paul. Notably it is all stock and has no breaks or repairs like you see on many of these. I have just gone over the entire guitar polishing the frets, oiling the neck. Ebony fretboard and frets have lots of life with some of the usual flattening and mild grooves, but not bad. Comes with original Gibson hard case in good shape minus a failing handle.
Original "T-Top" pickups (I took a close pic where you can you can see the "T" on the pickups)--known to be amazing sounding and original electronics. Hardware all nice shape, and it has Grover tuners. Body has the common wear around picking area and on back. Body and headstock both have black dots that look like paint overspray and little indents that seem to have been made intentionally (see pics at bottom). Weight is 8 pounds, 3 ounces. Guitar will come to you ready to play, not a project. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking!

Guitar Setup
All our setups are done by our in-house luthier. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
