Thank you very much for your post. Nice to have found her sibling. They are beautiful. The violin that Miss Swift is playing is definately unique. Interestingly enough, I did receive a response from Gibson regarding my inquiry. Here is the response.... Hello, Thanks for writing!! The serial number is consistent with a 1990 LP Standard in Ebony with Gold Hardware and a Rosewood fretboard. This was a limited run for 1990. Best regards, Vince Vincent Wynne Gibson Customer Service. I guess it was munfactured in the Nashville plant. All good info to have. I now know it was manufactured with the gold hardware. Something I had been told by the local/national dealer that had never been done. quote name='jimmy lee' timestamp='1366819096' post='1366071'] also just remembered that there are two clips on YouTube from about 16 months ago where i'm playing it. improvs with one of my very favorite partners in crime, the estimable m Miss Mazz Swift, filmed at Hoboken Recorders by Jolil Ula. this was with the SD '59 in the neck and the SD Custom Custom in the bridge, as well as prior to the electronics upgrade: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt8vQPTNtHY http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8_XdRMIpVoo pax

I have tried to up load a photo. I am using an IPad. The photo files are too large for this site unfortunately. I will try emailing to myself, open on a PC and shrink the file and post. Thanks everyone for our insight. I do find it helpful.

I purchased this Les Paul Standard used. It is black with gold hardware and ivory colored bindings and pick guard. I have tried to find information about this model with no success. I was told by the local retailer, that Standards were never manufactured with gold hardware. I did find reference to a limited run called "custom colors". Is this one of those or maybe a custom shop guitar? The person I purchased the guitar from, informed me after buying it that it used to be owned by Slash. I didn't put much stock in that info. but now I am starting to wonder. The serial # 91770421 and Made In USA is stamped in the back of the head stock. Any information about this model will be greatly appreciated.
