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.

Easy to install, very tough!
Color: White, Size: 16in, Color: White, Size: 16in
Seriously, scoring these shelf stands for $30 feels like an absolute steal! Four chunky wood boards with metal T-brackets that actually feel substantial - way sturdier than those flimsy IKEA ones I used to have. My old cheapo stands warped after half a year, but these hold up like a champ - I've got like 15 heavy textbooks stacked on them right now. Love the little details too: rounded edges so you won't scrape your hands, and rubber grip strips on the bottom. They look legit fancy in my living room as bookshelves and even class up my kitchen herb garden. My friend thought they were some high-end designer furniture! Honestly, the craftsmanship at this price puts my old $60 wooden shelves to shame. Already told my DIY group chat about these - trust me, you can't go wrong!

Worst item ever
Color: White, Size: 16in
Set up shelves and not sturdy at all. Followed the instructions perfectly. Very poorly made. I don’t have the box and now I’m stuck with the item. Garbage can here it comes.

There are better floating shelves
Color: Rustic Brwon, Size: 16in
Doesn’t feel very sturdy like other floating shelves I’ve bought, and they slant a little. The anchors and screws that it came with all broke so we had to get our own for it to feel more secure on the wall, but still feels wobbly. Overall, it looks good on the wall after the fact, but won’t be adding too much weight on it.
