davidos Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I am the original owner of a 1995 Les Paul Standard in Wine Red finish... I am trying to find the specs to this guitar but am not have much luck... What were the Standards based on in '95? The neck feels full to me... Pretty beefy. Please advise! Thanks so much.

tazzboy Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Neck is more then likely a 50's neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Weight-relieved (swiss cheese holes) body, short neck tenon. 500k tone pots, 300k volume pots, ceramic disc capacitors. Wasn't there just one neck profile back then and didn't '50s & '60s necks come out around 2002? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Gibson les paul standard in cherry burst finish this week and I tried to look up the specs, but didn't find anything until now. I knew the thing with the pups, the swiss cheese holes and the short neck tenon, but that was about it. "Are nine" is right about the neck profile, and this is the 59'rounded neck(correct me if i'm wrong), and it's a middle thing between the 50's and the 60's neck. The thing is that I traded my Gibson les paul classic 1960 reissue against a Fender vintage 57 commemorative strat, but hell no(!?) les paul is my rightful guitar. So I traded the strat for this les paul, and i'm really glad that i did. It's also in really mint condish, no fretwear and so on... This is my first inlay on this forum, so thank's guys! ps: Sorry for bad english, i'm from Sweden:)! / christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidos Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Weight-relieved (swiss cheese holes) body' date=' short neck tenon. 500k tone pots, 300k volume pots, ceramic disc capacitors.

The guitar I have is in no way weight relieved (swiss cheese holes) I don't think they started chambering Les Pauls until the 2000's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I hate to break it to you but yes, it is. Don't think that just because it's 9 or 10 lbs it has a solid-body. Gibson started weight-relieving these in the early '80s. Chambering is completely different. This is what your LP looks like on the inside.

[img']http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg225/Gibson_Tim/1998LPstandardradiograph.jpg[/img] Interesting.... I had no idea about that... Mine is 9+ lbs. so I figured it was solid... Do all LP Standards from the 90's have that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidos Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Anyone know what these are worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 ^ today in the US, probably $1,000 ( on the low side for gold or black) up to $1,500 (for a burst finish). As a LP owner, you're better off just keeping it. Fenn, what's YOUR problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manadrain Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hehe...problems... I don't uderstand your post. Sorry I am not american I just wanna know if the 95 standard has one-piece or two-pieces body, and the same for the neck. Because I'm gonna see one of this model tomorrow and I have to know some of these specs. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davii Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I've got a 1995 Heritage Cherry Burst Standard and this thread has me wondering... Mine has a 60's slim taper neck and I don't recall that not being an option in the 90's and, having just weighed it, it comes out at 6.1kg/13.4lbs. I thought the pups to be 490's (looking that up was how I'd ended up here), as I'd noticed that the current Traditionals on Gibson's site are described as coming with '57 Classics and thought "why, when 490's are available?". More confuddled than ever now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
