Gibson Les Paul Pre-Historic

Gibson Les Paul Pre-Historic

Made in USA 1993

Serial Number 3 1502

Before the introduction of the Gibson Custom Shop Historic line of official reissues, Gibson began producing replicas of their late ’50s & ’60’s “Burst” Les Pauls as early as 1982. Over time, these replicas became closer to what would eventually be released in 1993 as the first Custom Shop Historic ’59 Les Paul Reissue. The period from 1990 – 1992 represent the closest analogs to Gibson’s early Custom Shop models, but were still produced in small batches for various retailers, and feature a variety of specifications and appointments.

This early ’93 flamed top reissue one of the last limited runs before the Custom Shop Historic were introduced. Exceptionally well made, lovely figure to the maple cap, very nice cherry sunburst. Plays very well and sounds great. These models have always been highly regarded for good reason!

Overall in very good condition, some play wear as to be expected but no issues, faults or major marks etc. Comes with a 90’s Gibson hard case.
