Schlaak Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi everyone, need some help identifying this les Paul. My brother passed away a couple years ago and I have his guitars. I’m a drummer so I don’t know a whole lot about it. I believe it’s early 90’s.any help on year and what it’s worth would be awesome thank you.

kidblast Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 yep, looks consistent with the Les Paul Classic. That looks like a plain topped one. If the pick guard is in the case it should also have "Classic" inscribed on it. This description was from a search engine. The Gibson Les Paul Classic was introduced in 1990 as a reissue based on the 1960 Les Paul. The key feature of the Classic was it's slim neck profile.

FemmeParallell Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Sorry for your loss, early 90s classic are more sought after than other years, specially 1990-1994 ones, wish i had one Dont know what year would it be, usually those have a 5 digit serial number and the first digit would be the year. this one has 6 digits so i dont know, maybe its a 1990??

duane v Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 That’s a really nice player.... If you plan to sell I see them go from $1200 to $1600 in good to excellent condition. Also my condolences to you and your family for the loss of your brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
