#83 : 1980 Gibson Firebrand (Les Paul)

(#83) 1980 GIBSON Les Paul Firebrand

Made for about 3 years from 1979 to '81 or '82. Notice the serial number on the back of the headstock. the 1st digit is the decade and the 5th digit is the 2nd digit in the year, so this will be 80. When I bought it, it was covered in red, white and blue paint ala the Texas flag. A few hours of work and some chemicals and wala, you see the finished product. I paid $325 for it online. Resold it for a decent buck. They also made the 335 in a solid body and SG firebrand that were sister guitars to this. Back about 4 years ago, you could buy these for about $350-$400. Now they are significant more. STAY TUNED!
