Up for sale, a 1992 Gibson Les Paul Custom in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags/case candy. Exceedingly well-kept for over three decades, this Les Paul Custom was produced during an increasingly heralded era of Gibson production colloquially known as the “good wood” era. And deviating from most Customs, this Les Paul features an uncommon bookmatched flame maple top highlighted by a gloss Vintage Sunburst nitro lacquer finish. Ordered by Gibson’s Japanese distributor Yamano, Gibson’s USA-made guitars distributed via Yamano are often considered to be among their absolute best, featuring the highest quality woods picked for Gibson’s discerning Japanese audience. Tonewoods include a mahogany body, carved and bookmatched two-piece flame maple top, and a one-piece mahogany neck capped with a bound ebony fingerboard, delivering impressive natural note clarity and punch. The 490R and 498T humbuckers have a wide tonal palette, with Alnico II magnets in the neck pickup yielding more chime and warmth, while the Alnico V bridge pickup is tailored for gain with plenty of output and roar. This Les Paul Custom weighs 9lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
