A great late-90s Gibson Les Paul Standard in a classic Tobacco Burst finish.
This one has that proper Les Paul feel — solid, resonant, and full of character, with a nicely figured top that catches the light without being over the top. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a good ‘90s Standard.
Spec-wise, these sit in that really nice middle ground. You’ve got all the traditional Les Paul construction and tone, but paired with the slimmer neck profile, which makes it a lot more comfortable and easy to play compared to chunkier examples.
Tonally, it delivers everything you want — warm, full cleans and plenty of punch and bite when pushed. A really dependable, gig-ready guitar.
It’s been played and enjoyed over the years, which shows in places, but it’s all honest wear and nothing out of the ordinary for a guitar of this age.
Comes with its original Gibson hardcase.

Good overall condition.
There are a number of small dings, marks and signs of use around the body, mainly on the back and edges as shown in the photos. There’s a slightly more noticeable knock on the rear edge, along with some light buckle rash and general playwear.
The top otherwise presents, and the hardware is still very clean.
Frets show very little wear, no divots, and have been polished up in the shop, and the guitar plays well across the neck and has had a professional set up so it's ready for it's next home.
A solid, honest example that’s been used as intended rather than kept away.
