1995 Gibson Les Paul Standard

[rabbuhl]

I played a 1995 Gibson Les Paul Standard and liked it enough to consider buying it. I was wonder which pups are installed and if the quality of guitars made during this time at Gibson was good. Also, is the neck a 50s or 60s neck?

A quick call to Gibson Custom Service with the serial # will tell you every bit of that and more. I called last week about my LP.

Pickups would be a 490R and 498T.

ALL Standards of that era feature a '59 style rounded neck.

I had a 1996 Standard and kicking myself for trading it even for a RI new Firebird V. Mine was a tobacco burst and was light for a solid guitar and really was a good playing & sounding iinstrument

I have a 95 and I love it. Mine has no issues.

Mine is a 99, which should be the same specs/era. Amazing guitar, round thicker neck, good weight, awesome sustain. As said it should be 490r/498t, so pickups would probably be the weakest link if it plays well.

if you like it, why not buy it?

who cares what neck or electronics? if you dig it get it!

I have a 96. The neck has been broken twice......still plays incredibly well. I am toying with changing the pickups out though.....not sure what to go with....leaning towards the 57 Classics.

96...awesome

I have a 1995 Standard. Great player and great tone. No electrical / playability issues, bu some finish cracking around the headstock logo which appears to be a rather poorly fit inlay. Other than that, I love it.

Stunner!

I had '90 Std. It was a great guitar, but I could never bond with the gloss finished neck. It had 490R and 498T pups.

I prefer the Classics of that time period. ABR-1 Bridge (vs. Nashville), thinner neck, hotter pickups.

Swiss cheese, not solid.
