This is a classic 1989 Gibson Les Paul Studio in Ebony, built at the Nashville factory. This era is highly regarded by players for its superior tonewoods and robust build quality. Built: February 1, 1989

Why this 1989 Studio stands out:

• Premium Rosewood Fretboard: Unlike later Studio models, this late-'80s example features a fast, dark rosewood board for a snappy, high-end response and smooth feel.
• "Good Wood" Era Specs: Solid mahogany body with a carved maple top (no weight relief), delivering massive sustain and that authentic vintage Les Paul weight.
• Clean Aesthetic: This is the iconic "no binding" model with traditional dot inlays, reflecting the streamlined, professional look of the late '80s.
• High-End Hiscox Case: Includes a Hiscox Liteflite (Pro II Series) hard case. Made in the UK, these cases feature an ABS outer shell bonded to a high-tech foam inner, offering:
• • 500kg Crush Strength: Can withstand over half a tonne of pressure.
  • Thermal Insulation: Keeps the guitar in tune longer by resisting temperature changes.
  • Feather-Light Protection: Significantly lighter and more impact-resistant than standard plywood cases.

Condition & Hardware:

• Pickups: 490R/498T set (standard for '89).
• Tuners: Original Grover tuners.
• Condition: excellent for a 35 year old instrument, some dings and wear, see pics

This professional-grade workhorse is ready for the road, securely protected in one of the best flight cases on the market.
