Help with Les Paul Identification

anthonymunoz · 02-26-2008, 04:01 PM

I am considering buying this Les Paul, but I am having a problem finding its value since I do not know what it is exactly. They guy says it is a Classic, but they headstock does not say classic as they should (from what I understand). It almost seems like a Studio model to me since it is missing its binding. Any help would be great!

Thanks. Anthony

It's a Studio. I have the same guitar, only in cherry-red & gold hardware.

Besides the other Studio features, one of the telltale signs is the dot on "i" slightly offset to the left, touching the "G". I've seen it only on Studios.

Definately not a Classic (no binding on body or neck); it's a Studio.

So is the guy trying to con you by trying to pass this off as a classic, or does he genuinely not know about it?

Goes well with my greys.
