Hello all, I have a 1996 Gibson Les Paul Standard for sale. It is in Honeyburst colour and has one of the most comfortable necks around for Les Pauls made in the 90s. Somewhere between 50s and 60s neck profiles. The binding on the guitar has aged to a nice yellowish tint. The guitar has a gorgeous plain maple top and the wood grain is really beautiful.

The pickups are Stormy Monday from BareKnuckle Pickups, fitted with 2 RS Guitarworks SuperPots and 2 RS Guitarworks Audio Taper pots. The capacitors have been upgraded from the original ceramic caps to Russian paper-in-oil mil. spec caps. The guitar is wired with treble bleed to maintain the treble even when the volume is turned down.

Great sounding piece of instrument going at a price of 2.8k. The parts alone cost about $550, and installation and set-up done by Malcolm. That will be about another $200. For 2.8k, you'll get about $700+ worth of upgrades and maintenance, and a good 17 year-old guitar that is definitely hard to come by. Comes with brown OHSC, pink interior with shroud.

Hi,

Thanks for the email. The serial number is consistent with a Les Paul Standard in Honey Burst finish, made on the 78th day of 1996 in Nashville, TN. This would have a weight relieved body. I have attached information on the model for your viewing. Thanks again!"
