GIBSON LES PAUL CLASSIC GOLD TOP

1996 "Good Wood Era" Legend: Refretted & Stage Ready

🇺🇸 MADE IN USA (1996) 🎸 PROFESSIONAL REFRET (2 YRS AGO) 🔌 VETTED BY ELECTRICIAN

✨ The Mid-90s Masterpiece

For your consideration is a stunning 1996 Gibson Les Paul Classic in the iconic Gold Top finish. Guitars from the mid-90s are highly coveted by collectors and players alike for their exceptional wood quality and craftsmanship, often referred to as the "Good Wood Era."

This specific unit has been professionally maintained for performance. It underwent a full professional refret approximately two years ago, meaning the playability is smooth and precise with 100% fret life remaining. Combined with the fast 60s SlimTaper neck, this Gold Top is a joy to play for both technical leads and heavy riffs.
