My new(used)toy

SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

Nice, I love HCS!

Are those white PU mounts, though? If so and not caused by the flash, maybe cream ones would look better?

NICE! I love those

I dig the bling hardware.

plain tops are my favorite, nice guitar!

The pickup mounts are cream colored,the flash makes them look white. This guitar is a 1998 Gibson Les Paul Standard with Gold Hardware.It's all original and came with all the hang tags too.



It has a one piece back

Very cool....

Ah, okay - good!

You were expecting a two piece back?

I didn't know. Do all Standards have a one piece back? I used to have a Classic that had a 2 piece back.

I'm quite lost now. The back of the LP Classic is supposed to be one piece - I fail to see multiple pieces in the picture of the back, btw.
Or are you refering to the maple top? That's bookmatched.

sorry,I must be misrembering

Hey, no probs!

There have, however, been two, even three-piece necks on Gibson LPs.
Currently only Epiphone LPs still have multi piece necks.

I think my Deluxe had a 3-piece maple neck.
