This 1998 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Translucent Blue represents one of the most interesting interpretations of the late '90s production, a period in which Gibson successfully combined classic specifications with modern and sophisticated finishes. The solid mahogany body with AAA flamed maple top offers a balanced sound response, with a warm and full-bodied base supported by a defined and bright attack. The mahogany neck with a Slim '60s profile ensures smooth and precise playability, ideal for both fast licks and full chords, while the rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius contributes to a feeling of control and comfort throughout the scale. The original electronics with Gibson 490R pickups at the neck and 498T at the bridge deliver an authentic Les Paul sound, capable of ranging from rounded and detailed tones to more aggressive and punchy sounds, always maintaining definition and character. Complete with its original case, this guitar stands out for its originality, state of preservation and consistency of specifications, making it a solid choice for both the musician and the collector.
