2001 LPC-80.
Japanese Les Paul Custom, with long neck tenon, made in Fujigen factory to Gibson wood specs, including the open book headstock.
Ordered this direct from Tokyo several years back.
This model was produced solely for the Japanese domestic market in the late 90s/early 2000s, but they're finding their way over here in recent years, most in much more beaten-up shape than this one.
Really, really good condition, with just a few nicks and natural aging on the binding.
Note that I went with a cream trim motif, but have the black speed knobs, pickup rings, and pickguard in case you wanted to revert to chrome on black look.

switched out the old worn gold hardware for chrome, including locking tuners and strap locks.
Switched out pickups to a Pearly Gates in the bridge and a '59 in the neck.
I have NOT updated wiring.
Also note that it has a rosewood board, but I periodically used some black leather dye to give it the ebony vibe.
$1,000.
