Up for sale, a 1997 Gibson Les Paul Standard in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and serialized hangtag. This Les Paul hails from an increasingly highly regarded era of Gibson production, featuring a pair of 490R/498T humbuckers and a gloss Vintage Sunburst nitro lacquer finish.
Traditional tonewoods include a carved two-piece maple top, mahogany body, and one-piece mahogany neck capped with a bound rosewood fretboard, and this Les Paul Standard weighs 9lbs 14oz, 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 has a cut and snarl that 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 Vintage Sunburst nitro lacquer finish highlights subtle birdseye figuring in the maple on top, exhibiting limited checking at the binding. Cosmetic wear includes buckle rash on the bass-side of the back, some requisite pick scuffing across the strum path, and some dings across the body. The neck profile retains its smooth nitro gloss, with a few shallow marks central to the carve that don't distract the palm while fretting.
The original brown tolex Gibson USA hardshell case is included, along with the serialized hangtag.
