Take the pickups out and look at the undersides. They're probably 490/498. The 490 has Gibson USA on the underside. I can't remember if the 498 has anything.

Weight-relieved body, short neck tenon, probably a fatter '50s neck, 300k volume pots / 500k tone pots, Gibson USA ceramic disc caps.

I'm a little confused here - apologies. I have a 1997 Gibson Les Paul Custom (Ebony, Gold H/W) serial number: 90427544. It doesn't appear to me to have a fat neck profile, and if it is actually weight-relieved, then a non weight-relieved one must have been a back-breaker. It is the heaviest Les Paul I have ever lifted. Are there perhaps several version from 1997?
