1997 Gibson Les Paul £2500
Gibson Les Paul Standard originally supplied to the Japanese market and sold by Yamano Music. Original case, manual and hang tag included.
90s Gibson when quality was really high. Japanese market Gibsons were great because the retailers would reject anything not up to standard.
One piece mahogany back (no weight relief)
Mahogany neck
Rosewood fretboard
2 piece maple cap with no flame
Fairly slim neck thickness 22.1mm at 1st fret
43.2mm nut width
Weighs just over 8 and a half pounds
Pickups read 7.52 kOhms (neck) and 7.45 (bridge)
Played but very well looked after so condition is great for a 28 year old guitar. It’s all original, frets have a little wear, there are the small marks and knocks you’d expect.
It sounds fantastic! All the thick sustain you want from a proper Les Paul. Everything works as it should and it’s had a recent professional set up and new gauge 10 D’Addario strings.
