Gibson Les Paul XR-1 1980 – Gold Burst

$ 1200.00

Les Paul XR-1’s are the precursor to the Les Paul Studio. They were only produced for three years. This one is very much “player grade” but has a ton of vintage vibe. It’s been professionally setup by a respected shop here in Seattle and is in great working order. When I purchased it, it had an EMG bridge pickup. I tracked down a period-correct vintage “dirty fingers” humbucker and had it professionally installed. Otherwise the guitar is totally original, to my knowledge. Includes original case.

For what it’s worth, the person I bought the guitar from said it could be heard on No Knife’s “Drunk on the Moon” album. I believe the previous owner was in that band. The dirty fingers pickups are very high gain, this guitar cranks!

I split my time between Seattle and Leavenworth, WA. So if you’re local to those areas, you’d be welcome to come see it in person.

Sold as-is, no returns.
