GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD 1989 QUESTION, PLEASE ...

[a7d7e7]

Hello again, all .....

I saw a used Les Paul Standard from 1989 in a music store today.

My cell phone, however, went off, I had to leave the store, and I couldn't play it.

Does any know which pick ups are in a 1989 Standard? I don't think Burstbuckers were out in 1989. Could be Classic 57s?

Fat neck? Slim neck?

I did see the price tag and they're asking $1899.99. Good price?

I'm going back to play it tomorrow. If I like it, what's a good counter offer?

Thanks, guys. I'll put up pictures if I buy it.

Regards,

Mark

hard to tell from your description.. But check these Ebay prices.. It will give you and idea.. Sounds like a good price to me for a classic guitar if it is in good nik :)

Of topic, but it must be a modern days problem we look at here, my cell phone went down and i had to leave the store? :-)

I often wonder how we managed before the cell phone and net era, how did we even survived and could we even enter a store back then :-)

SORRY couldn´t resist!

likely Bill Lawrence "circuitboard" p'ups like these.....

sturdy & functional, but mine are a bit generic sounding

they survived a literal electrocution that melted the wiring inside my LP & fried several pots & the 3-way.
