The Les Paul Studio guitars from the 90's are a great value sleeper model, for those in the know. When considering the maple top, ebony fretboard, and 50's style neck profile, you realize this is essentially a vintage Les Paul Custom, but with dressed down attire. The necks from this era can rival the comfort and feel of modern '59 and '60 reissue models, so they have been gradually rising in popularity over the years. This one had a refret done at some point, and the action is set about medium, so it plays wonderfully all the way up the fretboard. The Alpine White has aged beautifully over the years, becoming a more eggnog type of color. It shows minor signs of playwear, and has held up great over the years. It comes with the original 90's Gibson hard case.
