Craigslist Vintage Guitar Hunt: Gibson Invader Oregon Portland Craigslist

1983 Gibson Invader near Portland OR for $465

I don't remember if these Invaders have bolt-on or set necks - and these photos conveniently don't show the neck joint - but you might still like this guitar if you want a lighter version of a Les Paul Studio with a high gain pickup. I don't believe these are actual "Dirty Fingers" (498T/500T) pickups - more likely they are the same Zebras that Willem Lorenz (Bill Lawrence) had made in Germany for the Sonex guitars around this time. Those pickups do sound good if you like a punchy high 13K type tone. I personally put them in my Epi Explorer and was happy with the results.
