1988 Gibson Les Paul Standard Black

1988 Gibson Les Paul Standard Black The guitar is in SIMPLY FABULOUS condition for its 26 years of age, there are ABSOLUTELY no defects, cracks, or anything else; honestly, in terms of condition, it has been preserved better than half of the modern, much younger Les Pauls that one encounters around. Pickups – Gibson Burstbucker 2 in the bridge and Gibson 498r in the neck; originally it had other pickups, but the previous owner found this perfect combination for himself. Also – the previous owner upgraded the capacitors for both pickups, there is a K42Y-2 on the neck, and a Jensen Polystyrene on the neck. That's right – just two capacitors cost under 50 bucks, the person definitely put effort into the sound, and you can feel it when playing! I listened to the guitar purely out of interest through half of my amplifiers; it sounds great on all of them, and it maintains its character everywhere—a very focused, dense sound with good attack, and the sustain is completely unreal. In general, this instrument particularly impressed me; I am sure that whoever takes it will immediately fall in love with its sound. Regarding the condition – as I said above, there is only very slight wear, but you would not say the guitar is 25 years old) Nothing serious and, of course, no defects. The only nuance that exists at all is the screw that holds the pickguard over the neck pickup—it broke off, and its base remained in the wood. Currently, the pickguard is held by another screw screwed in right next to it—this is not visible at all (it is under the pickguard) and, in fact, does not interfere with anything, and of course, does not affect the appearance or functionality of the instrument in any way. The instrument comes in a Gibson hard case, effectively new with a snow-white interior finish! Review The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on a good tube setup of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl…. I will deliver it to any city in the CIS within 1-2 days
