Gibson Les Paul Standard 1996

Description

This incredible Les Paul is a nice example of why people rate these 1990s models so highly. This example in a one owner instrument that was bought new in 1998 from Assembly Music in Bath. It’s been kept 100% original and remains in the original case with the warranty inspection tag. It remains in good condition considering it is now almost three decades old. It’s been used but loved and cared for and has no damage or repairs. There are scuffs and marks but nothing that negatively affects playing. We’ve given this a full strip down and set up with fret level and dress and when we fired it up, we realised just what an amazing Les Paul this is. The sustain is incredible and the rich harmonics just sing. It’s as close as you’ll get to Custom Shop Quality without buying one.
