srslots Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hello all, this is my first post. I am a life long Strat player but have recently gotten the LP bug. It will compliment my Strat perfectly for the band I am in. That being said I have found a used 1990 Standard for sale used at what seems to be a reasonable price ($1500). I am going to play it in person. I wanted to see if there was anything good or bad I should know about the 1990 Standard. If there is any good feedback, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks![/quote'] I don't own one from that time but maybe this website can help you: Les Paul Guide. They are pretty much the same as the pre-2008 versions with weight relief holes. The key questions are the type of pickups and 50's vs. 60's neck. Hope you join the LP club! Found this for a comparison: 1990 Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bram Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 You can't beat a well played-in, aged Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSG_Standard Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hey, I have 2 1990 LP Standards, mine are from the Limited Colours Edition series, the only thing that means is that they have special translucent colours. I have several Gibson guitars and the 2 from 1990 are very well built and finished and they are excellent players. I don't know if they are chambered or not, one of mine weighs 10.2 lbs and the other is 9.9 lbs. Here is one of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
