Clarkbar019 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have been informed that it is from 1988-1989 era, is it a custom, elite, standard? Thank you so much for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexygibson Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Appears to be a Standard model that has had the pups swapped and the clear pickguard added. Pretty cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epinder Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 It is an '80's MIK headstock. The MIJ was exactly (pretty darn close at least) to a Gibson headstock. Here is a photo that I borrowed from another forum: The TRC in the photo has been revised to a 2 screw to replace the original 3 screw TRC. That is a very nice looking guitar. Congrats and enjoy PS: trim the excess strings. Just Kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrmatt Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Does it still have any of the silver ink tags intact on the back? My avatar is a MIK 89 Les Paul Standard, the one that you have is very similar to my 89. mgm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
