The 1980 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Wine Red with original Shawbucker pickups is an early‑1980s single‑cut guitar built with set‑neck construction and period appointments. It typically has a mahogany body (some examples fitted with a thin maple cap), a set mahogany neck, and a bound rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays and multi‑ply body/headstock binding. Hardware includes a Tune‑o‑Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece and nickel‑plated appointments; controls are standard Gibson wiring—two volume, two tone knobs and a three‑way pickup selector. Scale length is 24.75" and nut width on most 1980 Standards measures around 1.695" (≈43 mm). The Wine Red finish is a darker translucent red over the top grain, and this example comes with its original hardshell case.

The noteworthy feature of this instrument is its pair of original Shawbucker pickups (produced by Tim Shaw during his tenure at Gibson). Shawbuckers were designed to offer a clearer, more articulate voice with balanced output compared with some earlier era humbuckers, delivering defined mids and a tight low end well suited to both clean and driven tones. Typical specs for this 1980 Les Paul Standard: set neck, 24.75" scale, bound rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, Tune‑o‑Matic bridge/stopbar tailpiece, dual Shawbucker humbuckers (neck and bridge), and original hardshell case included.
