Where are you located? Do you have any references? Most people on here are kind of funny about sending money to someone they don't know.

So you're not trying to sell it? Posted in the wrong section?

AllmanJoy77 · 02-09-2009, 04:39 PM

What are you looking to get out of it? Any trades?

Very Nice guitar man!!!!!!!!!!

AllmanJoy77 · 02-09-2009, 04:48 PM

Is it just me or does the Gold seem to be a wee bit off? It also appears to be a light back..... Hmmm.... Pretty Interesting

rockinlespaul · 02-09-2009, 04:50 PM

I'm not convinced its a Gibson, sorry.

The way the logo is inlayed looks wrong to me, but I could be wrong.

My apologies if that's the case.

grahameford · 02-10-2009, 05:27 PM

have had it looked at a music shop and they told me it is a 1988 classic Reissue, offered me £900

alexvdl · 02-10-2009, 08:33 PM

I think it's a '98 classic, but it should say les paul classic instead of model. '88 classics don't exsist. Pre classic reissue's don't have the narrow headstock and different headstock inlay. Does it have a thin or wide binding in the cutaway?

1959burst · 02-10-2009, 09:18 PM

you guys are fried, that is a real gibson.................they had 57 gold top reissues in 83-90, my guess is 1988

1959burst · 02-10-2009, 09:22 PM

and yes the gibson gold back then looked like that, it wasn't until later did they get it right. i had a 1988 showcase edition goldtop that looked the same color only it was a 56 reissue.
