thomasneal18 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I wandered if someone could give me an insight into a Les Paul I own. Its a standard but it has a bolt on neck. As far as I know the company don't make these any more so would anyone have an idea on what date it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13yguitarman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 probably either a fake or its les paul 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I know that Epi made bolt on Lp standards so its probably real. I think late 80s to mid 90s.but I'll let one of the more knowlegeable guys ponder that with more precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 People, please don't always answer "it's probably a fake" because usually it's not. There were some studio standards with bolt-on necks or something, and I've seen a couple of them. Oh yeah, here it is, this was on the web back in 1998: LP Studio Standard Features & Benefits Scale Nut Length: 24.75" Nut Wide: 1.68" Specifications Pickups 2 Humbuckers Hardware Chrome Scale/Nut width 24.75" / 1.68" Neck Joint Bolt Neck Material Mahogany Fingerboard/Inlay RW / Dot Binding B / N Body Material Mahogany / Alder Top Flame Maple http://web.archive.org/web/19980703172212/www.epiphone.com/products/epiphone/lespaul/6.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I've seen them on the ebay with full trapazoid inlays and I think even a few with figured tops,didn't realize they were still making them as late as 1998,cool Biff!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i had no idea they made those Yeah we know. That is EXACTLY why you shouldn't have commented as you did. And so often do. It is better to not say anything and have people doubt your intelligence' date=' than to speak up and remove all doubt.

wastra Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have a 1995 Epiphone Les Paul Standard with bolt-on neck. They were made at the Korean plant (at least mine was). Mine has been great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasneal18 Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have a 1995 Epiphone Les Paul Standard with bolt-on neck. They were made at the Korean plant (at least mine was). Mine has been great for me. Yes the plate is exactly the same as mine. I was thinking on selling the guitar as it's just collecting dust and someone else could make better use of it. Do you think it would be worth any more as they are discontinued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasneal18 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 This is what I found out about the guitar from the guitar dater project thing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasneal18 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Does anyone have any idea of how much I should be asking for it? I not even sure how much s/h regular standards go for if this would be worth any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'd say somewhere around $250-$300. That's the average used price of a Les Paul Standard in the US. Looks about the same for UK prices, £125-£175. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
