[Help to determine the model of a Les Paul !]

its a 1998 les paul standard model

Can you help with this?

Hello,

I need some help with this.

The headstock on top says Gibson

Under that between the tuners for the 2 and 4 strings it says Custom Shop. Between the Custom and Shop

it says in script Les Paul.

At the top of the neck , after the nut, a golden metal plate says in script Les Paul.

The serial number is 02005514. On the back of the headstock, between the tuners, under the serial number is says

MADE IN

USA.

Is this guitar authentic?

What is the model LP?

Is it worth investing some money into?

What year was it made?

I would add pictures if I know how.

Thanks in advance.

George
