Up for sale, a 1992 Gibson Les Paul Classic Plus in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Designed to capture the finer points of the 1960 Les Paul Standard, the '92 Classic Plus is a one-year intersection of premium features, first officially offered in the '93 model year (yet available slightly earlier). Differentiated by a heavily figured AA flame maple top, this guitar also retains the "Les Paul Model" silkscreen text on the headstock face, which was modified to "Les Paul Classic" the next year to the unanimous dismay of vintage Les Paul aficionados.

The Classic Plus boasts many features that are notable to the golden age of Les Paul production, such as a '50s headstock shape, thinner binding in the cutaway, push-in tuner bushings, ABR-1 bridge, and a slimmer 1960 neck profile. Weighing 8lbs 10oz, the traditional tonewood complement includes a solid (non-weight relieved) mahogany body, carved AA flame maple cap, mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard.

Offering plenty of natural sustain and resonance, this Les Paul is loaded with the original 496R and 500T humbucker pair. These pickups are some of Gibson's most hotly wound ceramic magnet humbuckers; the 496R delivers a biting, bluesy edge with notable treble detail and an increase in harmonics, while the 500T delivers a rich combination of enhanced lows and crystal clear highs, wax potted for ideal feedback rejection in high gain scenarios. This Les Paul Classic Plus has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Trans Amber nitro lacquer finish highlights straight tiger flame figuring across the carved-two-piece maple top. Consistent and dimensional, this top is a stunner, with different aspects of the flame revealing itself at various angles. Cosmetic wear is limited to faint buckle wear on the back lower bout and a few minor dings and finish scratches on the rest of the body. The nitro gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean.

The original Gibson USA brown hardshell case is included.
