Factory second. Guitar shows some wear, some scratches and dings in the finish, more so on the back of the body. Buckle rash on the back of the body. A few indented scratches on the bottom side of the body. Comes with Gibson \"Chainsaw\" Hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 1981 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Wine Red is a Norlin-era Standard finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer over a maple top and mahogany body, with 1-ply cream body binding tying together the deep red finish and gloss black headstock. At 9.74 lbs., it's a solidly built example, and the 8-digit serial number confirms 1981 production, matching the dealer's stated date. Worth noting up front: this guitar left the factory as a second — Gibson's designation for an instrument with a minor cosmetic flaw caught before it ever reached a customer — so the wear described here (scratching and dings, heavier on the back of the body, buckle rash, and a few indented scratches on the lower bout) sits on top of whatever originally earned it that factory-second status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe set-neck, South American mahogany neck carries a C profile (.815\" at the 1st fret, .995\" at the 12th) for a comfortable, medium-feeling grip, joined to a rosewood fretboard with pearl trapezoid inlays, 1-ply cream binding, and a 12\" radius. A 24.75\" scale length and a 1 11\/16\" nylon nut round out the classic Les Paul Standard feel. The gloss black headstock carries the gold script Gibson logo and Norlin-era inlay, fitted with Gibson-branded tuners in nickel\/chrome. An ABR-1 bridge and stopbar tailpiece deliver the sustain and tuning stability Les Pauls are known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eElectronics are a pair of Gibson Tim Shaw Pat. No. humbuckers — Gibson's early-'80s redesign aimed at recapturing vintage PAF tone and output — wired to independent volume and tone controls for each pickup and a 3-way toggle selector, giving you everything from warm, rounded neck tone to a punchy, cutting bridge voice. Whether you're a collector after an affordable entry point into Norlin-era Gibsons, a player who wants real vintage Tim Shaw humbucker tone, or someone who doesn't mind a factory-second story behind their Les Paul, this Standard (Serial #81331566) includes its Gibson \"Chainsaw\" hardshell case.
