Was 1995 a good year for a Standard? Anything to look out for?

[miurasv]

I'm interested in buying a 1995 LP Standard that I haven't seen yet and I wondered if '95 was a good or bad year for Gibson Manufacture? Also is there anything that an unplayed 15 year old LP may be showing signs of its age like a warped neck or cracks to the body etc? Will the electronics need any maintenance? Thanks in advance for any replies.

No such thing as good or bad years. I don't understand why people think this way. You should play and inspect that guitar before buying.

I agree that the year doesn't really matter. However I do have a 1995 Les Paul Standard as has been my main electric since 1996 when I bought it used. Before then I was a die hard Strat player since 1981. This guitar just sings to me and I love and will NEVER sell it. So for what it's worth my '95 is a good one (at least to me).
