Harley Davidson Gibson Studio Les Paul guitar
I have a Gibson Studio Les Paul guitar #81095543 and is inlayed with Harley Davidson emblems in the neck. Ican't find any informationon it and can't verify its origin.

The serial number matches a guitar made at the Gibson Nashville Plant, TN, USA on April 19th, 1985.
That year wasn't anything in particular to Harley Davidson (100th anniversary was in 2003) although there was a limited run of Gibson acoustic body guitars issued in 2007 and sold through Harley dealers as a come-on.
It may be a custom shop one-off like this one

and if genuine could be worth up to US$3000, it is hard to say.
I would take several good HD photos of the headstock, both sides, the body, fingerboard, and serial number wherever it appears, and pay a fee for an authoritative appraisal to
