Here we have a fantastic example of this iconic guitar. Made during the so called ‘Good Wood Years’ this 1998 Standard has everything you want and expect from a Les Paul. It certainly has the looks in abundance, with its gleaming black finish, gold speed knobs & contrasting chrome hardware & cream pickguard, pickup surrounds & poker chip. As for the sound, well fitted with a 490R humbucker in the neck position and a 498T humbucker in bridge position, his baby really sings for her supper. The playability is fabulous, with an arrow straight neck & low action, she is ultra comfortable in the hand & her weight is what I consider a true Les Paul weight at just over 10lb, so no chambers on this girl! Her condition is truly excellent, with little or no playwear. Her frets are 100% perfect & she has no noticeable chips or dents. There is just a very small pressure mark, where she has been in a guitar stand & the rubber pad of the stand that supports the back has left a very small footprint in the nitro! almost too faint to photograph. She sleeps in her Brown Tolex plush lined case.

This has to be one of the cleanest Les Pauls of its age, so don’t miss out on this one
