So, further digging shows that it was originally trans-purple... so possibly a Classic? But then the serial is more in line with a Standard, as it’s 8 digits, where as all the classics seemed to run on the 5 digit system...

Thanks @kidblast, appreciate the reply. I believe it’s defo a genuine Gibson etc, it’s just the finish originality that I’m uncertain on. No amount of googling is bringing up gold finished LP Standards with dark backs from that time period.

Hello! Just looking for some advice on 1991 Les Paul I’m looking to pick up. I have doubts about the originality of its finish, but purely because I can’t really find any examples of anything similar. Tuners and hardware seems to have been changed. The serial number checks out, but the guitar is supposedly a 1991 Les Paul Standard, it’s a that sort of yellow sparkly Goldtop (Bullion?), with a dark back, which, as far as I can see, wasn’t really offered. The closest looking was a Classic model? Anyone have any idea how legit it is? Cheers
