I've come into a Les Paul Custom 3-pickup Black Beauty with gold hardware . The pearl on the headstock is engraved 35 anniversary ( maybe inked... hard to tell ).
It appears to be in good shape, finish is for the most part beautiful, though it has a small finish crack running from the switch toward the tail for about 1.25" or so. Too narrow to put a .009 string into. It appears to have a maple top, although I thought these should be mahogany on mahogany. I think everything is original.
I'm having trouble finding out much about this particular model. I've googled around some, but not much info. I'm curious about where and how many were made, and roughly what it may be worth.
Serial number is gold ink 9 0230. Can someone here tell me about this model, or point me in the right direction to look?
TIA
