Gibson offered a few custom finishes during the "Norlin" owned era of the company. They offered Alpine White, Wine Red, Ferrari Red, Pewter Ebony, Vintage/Cherry Sunburst, & of course Silverburst. The Silverburst finish was introduced from Gibson in 1979 and was later discontinued in 1982. This short-lived finish wasn't super popular during its production time but has gained a cult following in recent years with Gibson re-introducing the finish in limited quantities.This example of the guitar comes from the year 1981 and lives up to its legendary legacy. The guitar features a slim taper neck profile that's super skinny at the 1st fret and gradually fills out the farther you up the fingerboard. The neck doesn't have much shoulder until you reach closer to the 12th fret. Gibson was discontinuing the Volute design by 1980 but this particular guitar still features the design. Gibson's Silverburst finish has yellowed out dead center of the burst to a nice green/yellow, very common for this finish. The Gibson Schaller Speed Winder Crank Flip Out Tuners are fully functional and turn smooth with no resistance. The T-Top humbucking pickups are very well balanced with lots of bite from the bridge pickup and smooth low end from the neck pickup. Unfortunately, the pickup covers were misplaced years ago and are not included with the guitar.

This 1981 Gibson Les Paul Custom is in very good condition. This guitar shows signs of wear across with light scratches, dings and dents. The binding has aged to a nice yellow with cracks here and there on the backside. The back of the body has buckle rash closer to the control cavity. There is some light checking in the finish on the sides of the guitar closest to the output jack. Frets are low but still have some life left. The tune-o-matic bridge, stop tail piece, and strap buttons have been replaced. The guitar includes an aftermarket case with stickers.

MOM-1, PANTS-1...well, I guess we both win
Size: 32, Color: Black
Purchased for my 17 yr old son, about 6'2, 180, medium built. PROS -Black pair is a nice happy medium between faded black and pitch dark. -Roomy around the waist, but not enough for children to sag (no, no, no,) -excellent price for quality of product CONS -might be too comfortable for wearer, resulting in an request for an abnormal amount of additional pairs -consistent compliments for wearer could cause inflated ego or confidence OVERALL I didn't hear any complaints from my son or "can you return this" which is a WIN for me, bc he's usually very picky. it's a whole thing with the length and the thickness, color, all of it. I thought these pants looked really nice, the color was casual enough for friends, and dressy enough for church. I was pleasantly surprised. Not a big fan of belts, but he is not comfortable with sagging (thank goodness), and the fit around the waist provided enough support to stay where they needed to. Pants also did not scrunch up at the bottom, and did not fit like capris. Product title described product to a T (or pants): slim fit stretch comfort casual classic solid- it was all of those in one!

Super long length but quality fabric
Size: 28, Color: Army Green
Fits more like skinny jeans rather than slim fit. It’s a size 28 so my waist fits fine but the length is super long for no reason. I decided to keep it due to the fabric material feeling. I fold the bottom of the pants to make it look for fit. I’m 5’4.

Buying more pairs.
Size: 36, Color: Purple
True to fit and extremely comfy. Even tho the title says mens, it’s designed like a womens when it comes to the pockets. Not deep pockets. If you want a tight fit go a size smaller, if you want a baggy fit go size bigger. Color is how you see it in photos.
