crabn Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I got this as a hand me down years back and never played it much, so I feel I may as well figure out what it is and possibly sell it. Any help is appreciated, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they made studios with trapezoid inlays in 1996 because if so, it could be a studio instead of a standard. But again, I'm no expert.

Ricochet Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Don't take my word for it but that looks like a les paul standard. It is. Trapezoid inlays and binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yew Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 hmm, should be worth a shiny penny, especially if you clean it up and get it well set up... dunno how much tho, looks nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexygibson Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yep; thats one of the Standard models in the metal flake finish. You see a good many of them on Ebay. I never cared for those finishes but it should play and sound as good as any other Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabn Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Ended up putting it on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/1996-Gibson-Epiphone-Limited-Edition-Les-Paul-Standard_W0QQitemZ230329744392QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item230329744392&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A3|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A100 Thanks for all the info.

epinder Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can I make a quick suggestion? Put some strings on it and test the electronics. A $5 set of strings will probably net you another $30 to $50 in the sale. I'm sure that other people are looking and wondering whether or not the p/u's and/or switch work ok. Throw a set of strings on it, run down to a shop where you can test it and let your bidders know the results. Good Luck on the Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My techies got the very same green one been hangin' in his shop for sale since I've owned my blue one. He's let me take it down to play a few times, and through a JCM 800, it sounds really nice, just can't get by the sparkly green thi ng it has going on. Guy he's consigning it for dropped his price to 300 bucks for that one, if I had the means to refinish it, I'd get it because it sounds so good, he charges more than I can afford to do that kind of work, so there she hangs to this day...

animalfarm Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Just eyeballed your ebay listing - 11 bids so far, I sense folks looking at project guitar. Will need refinishing IF, IF, IF the winner is thinking about putting it back to "showroom" condition. (That big wood chip missing on lower horn - OUCH!). On the other hand, If someone just wants LP Standard and is only concerned about SOUND, might be sweet deal. I'll bet the bidders already have parts in hand to slap onto it. Regarding Pickups, just plug a guitar cord in the LP jack, turn both vol knobs up all the way, then place one multimeter lead on the other cord end TIP, other meter lead on the sleeve (seperated by plastic spacer ring above tip), have multimeter set to 20k resistance highest value, then select treble position with 3-way switch. You'll see the Bridge pup value (say, 12Kohms as example), then select rhythm (neck pup), you'll see value (say, 8.7Kohms as example). Post info with description on ebay. EDIT: Now that I think about it, might make a tasty project for the upcoming spring/summer. Hmmmm.... Gotta think about that missing wood chip.

Huntaway Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 It doesn't look like a Studio model. I've got a late 90's Korean Studio and although it's got the mop trapiezoid markers in the fret board, the studio does not have any binding. I'm new to the forum so will post some pics of my LP Studio and 96 Peerless Epi Casino in Vintage Cherry Sunburst. Good luck with the project.

animalfarm Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Had to snicker about this one: While looking at the Ebay listing for this git, noticed it says "No strings, DON'T HAVE AMP" to try it out on. OK, I looked at the "other items for sale" and what did I see? A PEAVEY guitar with no strings, and.......................A FENDER AMP!!!!! HUH??????? Snicker, snicker.... Still, maybe for a project? Hmmmm...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well? Have you put strings on it yet? PUPS? 3-Way? Actually, it really wouldn't matter, but having some working hardware would be a little extra gravy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 These are the EPI version of the mid 90s GIBSON LP STD GEM series. Red Was a very popular color ! Went for about $600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
