I just picked up this Custom because I've always wanted a Custom. I don't know much about the Norlin era guitars. This one was just a total impulse purchase. I played it for about 45 minutes and loved the sounds that came from it. I guess at this age it is considered a vintage. I was on my way to buy one of the new Customs but saw this and grabbed it instead. Since I don't know much about Norlin era Gibsons, I thought I would post it here to see what you guys think about this one. The ebony fretboard is in amazing condition.
DUH: "It has all cracked paint under the finish"
CORRECTION: It has checked finish all over the guitar. I learned that changing temperature causes this type of checking. Looks fine to me.
Open to hearing all good and bad opinions on this guy.
EDIT: I was told it was a 1986, but I just looked up the serial and it is actually a 1985.
