Josh James Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Ok, I want to bid on this 93 standard on ebay, It looks real to me. the only issue is that it is missing the "L" on Model on the headstock. Give me your opinion, it ends in a little over a hour. http://cgi.ebay.com/Gibson-Les-Paul-Standard-1993-Sunburst-plaintop-/190402168438?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar&hash=item2c54da8676#ht_596wt_934 Thanks, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 you won it? right on buddy...it comes with one of those nice brown cases too, Gibson don't make those ones anymore .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh James Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yeah, I won it. Pretty pumped for my first "real" Lester. According to the seller she weights 9.3 lbs. I like the black snakeskin case SW, but something regal about the pink interior on the brown cases. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh James Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Lets hope not....never loved buying a ax without playing it, but in this instance I think I will be very happy. Now, how do I get a "L" silkscreened on where it is rubbed off on the headstock in model? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Many congrats. Looks good. Bet you can hardly wait for the doorbell to ring... Snaps when you (eventually) put it down, please! P.S. The seller states they don't know the official colour but, judging from the dark heel, it's almost certainly Vintage Sunburst rather than Tobacco Sunburst.

Josh James Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yeah, I really dig the color and like that it isn't a perfect shiny top. It is going to be a player so I won't have to worry about a AAA top getting scratched up. Yes, pics you shall have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xinnix Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Now' date=' how do I get a "L" silkscreened on where it is rubbed off on the headstock in model? J[/quote'] I would try to get Gibson to authenticate it (if they do that?), and leave it alone. It's unique. Like a double stamped coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 How does one just rub off the "L" in the word Model?.. well you now are a proud owner of a Les Paul Mode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I looked in last night right after Rockstar posted his oakey dokey. So I checked back in today to see what happened. Hot damn. Nice job. Very nice STD with a sweet lookin burst. And a really nice case to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I just checked the listing to make sure it was smoke-free, and it was. That's a mistake I made when I bought my only sight-unseen guitar. The seller never mentioned he smoked (why would he?), and I didn't think to ask. Fortunately, the crappy case it came with absorbed most of the smell, so a few days out on a stand took the cigarettes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh James Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 It really does not look like it rubbed off. It looks like it was never there at all? Hey, for the price and it being a case queen I don't care a ton about the "L" being rubbed off or never being there or whatever happened. Can't wait to get her and plug her in and get nasty!!
