• Gibson Les Paul Spotlight Special – Vintage 1983 – Wonderful Player and Museum Condition.  Insanely cool!Wow.  OMG.  What can I say?  This guitar is so clean, in such great condition, nearly mint.  Easily “Excellent Plus” condition.   I honestly don’t see a single scratch, nick, chip, or any buckle rash at all.  There is one pencil lead size dent near the jack plate (not thru the finish, see pix).  There is virtually NO play wear - including the frets.  The tiniest little area of bubbling is present in the bass end of the bridge. If you had the hang tags this gem could almost be sold as new old stock.  You won’t believe it when you see how fantastic it is.  The guitar is almost brand new condition right down to the case and ‘Pat. Appl. For' stickers on the pickup bezels (indicating the sought-after original Tim Shaw pickups).    I’ve owned this guitar for 12 years.  The neck is straight, action is fabulous, and the guitar plays and sounds like a dream.  If you google ‘Les Paul Spotlight Special’ you’ll find tons of info on these fabulous and beautiful guitars.  211 Spotlight Specials were built, all in 1983, and all carry the Custom Shop label and inked serial on the back of the headstock.  Most Spotlights are not bookmatched; many are in fact quite different side to side.  This one is a stunning, perfect bookmatch flame making it an extraordinarily beautiful ASB (Antique Sunburst) example.  No repairs, breaks, cracks, or any of that nonsense.  She’s absolutely original in every way, rare, collectible, and you’ll never find another 34-year-old Les Paul this good, much less one of this quality and rarity.  It's a beauty, and has 34 years of seasoning and mellow mojo.  Don’t let it get away!  More pix available for bidders with serious interest.PLEASE READ ALL BELOW:Returns only if I have misrepresented the guitar in some way.  Selling because I am retiring and don't want my wife to have to deal with my collection if I croak.  Bid with confidence; 15 years of ebay experience with all positive feedback, with more than 150 guitar and amp transactions.  Shipping to continental USA $89 USD due to extra insurance.  Will ship UPS Ground unless you request otherwise and pay extra fees for delivery method of your choice (for USA lower 48 only).  INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:  YOU are responsible for all export, import, taxes, insurance, duties, tariffs, etc.  Shipping cost for international will be based on destination and delivery by air.  INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE CONTACT ME PRIOR TO BIDDING.
