SERIAL NUMBER I97090255

1996 

GIBSON/EPIPHONE 

 LES PAUL STANDARD 

FINISHED IN 

 BIRDSEYE MAPLE TOP WITH CREAM BINDING 

  BEFORE YOU COMMENT ON THE PRICE READ THE LISTING THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY RARE GUITAR. 

 THE GUITAR HAS  A LOVELY LOW ACTION, A REALLY NICE FEEL AND IS READY TO GO. 

I RUN LOCAL OPEN MICS AND JAM NIGHTS AND I HAVE PLAYED SOME GIBSONS THAT EITHER DON'T SOUND OR PLAY AS WELL AS THIS INSTRUMENT.

THE TOP IS BRIGHT AND GLOSSY 1 TINY TINY DINT THAT REALLY DOSEN'T SHOW (SEE PICS) 

 THE HEADSTOCK IS BEAUTIFUL

 THE EDGES ARE IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION

THE BACK IS REALLY NICE ONLY HAVING SOME LIGHT ALMOST UNNOTICABLE PLAY MARKS (SEE PICS) 

YOU CAN SEE THE UPPER NECK JOINT & JUST FEEL IT UNDER THE LAQUIER ON THE BACK OF THE NECK. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY. THE NECK HAS NOT BEEN BROKEN. AGAIN MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE HAPPY BEFORE YOU BUY PLEASE.

I HAVE LISTED AND TAKEN CLOSE UP HI DEF PICS FOR TRANSPARENCY. THESE MARKS HARDLY EVEN SHOW BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE HAPPY BEFORE COMITTING TO BUY.

 OVERALL FABULOUS CONDITION, THE BRIDGE AND TAILSTOP ARE WONDERFULLY CLEAN... IT REALLY IS STUNNING. 

THE TRUSS ROD COVER IS NOT ORIGINAL. 

IT READS 'LES PAUL STANDARD' & THE HOLES DO NOT LINE UP PROPERLY. THERE HAVE BEEN NO NEW HOLES DRILLED, THE COVER IS HELD IN PLACE WITH A SMALL BLOB GLUE AND WILL POP OFF IF REQUIRED. 

THIS IS A MID 90'S SAMICK BUILD AND AS SUCH SHOULD HAVE A COVER WITH JUST 'GIBSON' WRITTEN ON IT. YOU CAN PROBABLY LOCATE A REPLACEMENT ONLINE IF YOU WANT TOQUITE CHEAPLY.

Les Paul STANDARD MAPLE PLUSTOP :  

1996 BUILT, KOREAN GIBSON/EPIPHONE LES PAUL STANDARD PLUSTOP. 

THIS GUITAR IS IN STUNNING CONDITION ...AND BARE IN MIND ITS COMING UP FOR IT'S 30th BIRTHDAY!.                  

THE BIRDSEYE MAPLE TOPS ARE INCREDIBLY RARE. 

VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE OF THESE GUITARS WITH A TOP IN SUCH FABULOUS CONDITION.  
THE MAPLE TOP IS BRIGHT AND GLOSSY ...THE MATCHED GRAIN IS BEAUTIFUL !
THE HARDWARE IS ALSO FABULOUS CONDITION, THE BRIDGE AND TAILSTOP ARE WONDERFULLY CLEAN... AMAZING REALLY AS THIS LP IS 29 YRS OLD. THE PICKUP SURROUNDS AND BINDING HAVE NATURALLY TURNED A BEAUTIFUL AGED CREAM COLOUR.                      

                  
THIS LP IS GREAT VALUE AT £499.99 IT'S A REAL JAW DROPPER AND KOREAN EPI LES PAULS ARE KNOWN FOR SUPERIOR BUILD QUALITY. 
                                    

THIS "EPI" LP was made at the SAMICK Guitar Plant, South Korea, in SEPTEMBER 1996  Production Number: 9122                           
                                           

The dark spots /circles that you may see on the pics of the back of the guitar are just reflections of our ceiling spotlights.   This has a nice easy feel and low action .. no buzzes anywhere. 

The guitar will play classic rock and blues, but it suits punk and could belt out metal perfectly as well given the right effects.   If your looking for a full rich Fat sound designed to be as close to the PAF tones , this will be one of the best guitar you could buy for the money. These "Koreans" are renowned for being resonant and  tonally superior to there modern day Chinese counterparts. . 

THIS LP IS ONE OF THE  'NINETIES STANDARDS'  AND AS SUCH IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. 

REMEMBER YOU CAN SPEND UPTO £650 ON A NEW LES PAUL BUT IT WILL BE MADE IN CHINA. WHEN THIS GUITAR IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL, WHY WOULD YOU?  

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU ARE COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THIS GUITAR BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO BUY. THANKYOU.
