Saw this link in the LP forum in a discussion about weight relief and couldn't believe it when I opened it. The seller claims it's a 1987 model. I had no idea that they made Les Paul Custom Lite in 1987, I have one from 2013 and thought that it was a new idea then.

 

It is exactly like mine from what I can tell (except for the Mist finish) as it has the thinner body, Custom appointments, and the single tone control with a toggle for coil tap. Didn't know they were doing coil tap in '87 either.

 

Who Knew

 

But maybe seller is dreaming about the year as much as the price. A new one is under $2K so not sure how close he will get to $5K

LP Custom Lite was added to the range in, as is claimed, 1987. It's there in all the books. Not a secret.

 

Price? That's a different matter entirely.

Shows how much I know. I never heard of them before 2012 or 2013 and I know I never saw one before that. Must be one of those models that they don't make continuously or certainly don't market every year. When I got mine and people first saw it they were all surprised "what in the world is that?" type reactions. Live and learn.

Well the seller saw a guy once asking 15 grand for one, so there.
