HI see your from Portugal so you'll have to call the European offices and

from other post I've read you are not going to get much info. So I called

here in US That serial # came up as a 1992 Translucent Red Les Paul Studio Lite

with 500R bridge pup and 496T neck Pup with gold hardware. Does this

sound like it is your Guitar? Welcome to the forum

Yes that's my Guitar thank you very much you all

 

what do you think about the guitar????

What do you mean?

 

Is it any good?

Sure!

 

Is it worth a lot of money?

Not in the USA, but all that is different in other countries.

 

Should play and sound very much like a Les Paul Standard of the same vintage.

The biggest difference is the lack of body binding and some cosmetic goodies.

 

If it's in good shape after 20 years, it's probably a keeper.

Trans Red usually looks pretty nice, depends on the wood grain showing through.

 

Gold hardware is a personal taste issue - I don't like it.

It tarnishes and discolors easily, is it still in good shape on your guitar?

 

I don't recall what the Studio Lite was - chambered maybe?

At the very least, it has Swiss Cheese holes drilled in the body beneath the Maple cap.

 

The ceramic pickups are way too harsh and bright for my tastes.

If you play some heavy music, they may work for you.

If you don't like them, a pickup swap is easy.

 

(It may have already been done - many people removed those pickups....)

 

 

 

Keep it and play the hell out of it!

Congrats, and welcome to the forum.

 

 

Oh, and good job CW!

By 1992 the Studio Lite had an area cut out inside similar to the chambered models but this was filled with balsa wood. It also had a slimmer neck than usual and, as a result, was reckoned to be a couple of pounds lighter.
