autodafe Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 today I found locally a Les Paul Studio after some bargaining with the owner I managed to lower the price It's quite good, pickup cover are a bit dusty/damaged but iverall it's a nice guitar it has been modified to use the two pickups as single coils Gibson Serial dates it form year 2000 (serial is 01230524) at first I was worried about it originality (fakes are always around) But after inspection it looks original. What do you think? Are tuners original? and the diamond onlays on the neck? see pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Congratulations! It's authentic! My first ever Gibson was a similiar one: '92 ebony boarded, black Studio - gold hardware. I miss it so much! Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 . Looks genuine to me. Nice LP Studio. Looks to be in good shape. Beautiful piece of rosewood fretboard. The intonation screws on the ABR should face the neck, but you can leave it if the break angles are such that the strings aren't contacting the screw heads. Congrats .

I miss it so much! Cheers... Bence thanks. I lowered the price to 500 euros (he was asking 700€ , including amp and some pedals, and asked 600€ for guitar only)...do you think I got a good price?

btoth76 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 In Europe, yes, that's a good price. Put the screws back to the machine heads, otherwise You may have tuning stability issues. Give Her a nice treatment with a quality polish (Gibson's, or Virtuoso) and enjoy Her! :) Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
