Up for sale, a 1994 Gibson Les Paul Standard in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This Les Paul hails from an increasingly highly regarded era of Gibson production, featuring a 490R/498T humbucker pair and a gloss Heritage Cherry Sunburst nitro lacquer finish.
This Les Paul weighs 9lbs 8oz, with traditional tonewoods including a carved two-piece maple top, mahogany body, and one-piece mahogany neck capped with a bound rosewood fretboard, dishing out plenty of natural sustain with a lively, powerful acoustic response. The 490R and 498T humbuckers have a wide tonal palette, with the Alnico II magnets in the neck pickup offering more chime and warmth, while the Alnico V bridge pickup cuts through with classic Gibson roar. This Les Paul Standard has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Heritage Cherry Sunburst nitro lacquer finish is bright and vibrant, highlighting subtle birdseye figuring in the maple top, and cosmetic wear is limited to a scant few minor dings at the lower bout and some faint finish scratches in the clear coat. The smooth nitro gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for a few shallow marks behind frets 1-3 that are virtually undetectable to the palm.
The original Gibson USA brown tolex hardshell case is included.
