1996 Gibson Les Paul Standard Wine Red in good condition. Body has nicks and dings on the back as well as a few dings on the top. The finish overall has normal wear and swirls for a nitro finish. There is some wear on the edge of the headstock and the outline of the “Gibson” inlay has lines around it (a quirk of 90s Gibson). There are a few light lacquer checks on the back of the headstock and on the back of the body (body ones didn’t show up well in photos).

Comes with original Kluson style tuners and original strap buttons, but the nut has been replaced with a TUSQ nut. Does not come with original pickups or electronics minus the output jack and pickup selector. Electronics have been replaced with USA CTS pots and other USA electronics including orange drop capacitors, and the pickups are Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbuckers. Comes with original hard shell case in good condition with pink blanket, intact handle and functioning combo lock. Original knobs and truss rod cover have been replaced with Gibson Reflector and blank cover, respectively, but comes with originals as well as Gibson gold speed knobs and ultra light weight tailpiece. Also comes with truss rod tool. The guy I bought it from was in Moscow, so this guitar has been on quite the journey.

If you’re looking for a recently vintage LP from Gibson’s “good wood era” that you won’t be afraid to actually play, this is a great option. Recently set up, currently strung with 9s and weighs 9lbs .8 Oz.
