1998 Gibson Les Paul Standard – A Limited Edition Ebony Warrior Ready to Rip!


Own a Piece of Rock Royalty – That Plays Like a Dream!


Here is a killer playing and super sweet sounding limited edition 1998 Gibson Les Paul Standard in stunning ebony with all gold hardware, glowing under stage lights like a fine black diamond. This isn't just any Les Paul – it's a battle-tested tone monster with a classic Goldie Lox ('59) neck profile, Gibson pickups that snarl and sing, and that legendary mahogany/maple sandwich delivering the thick, sustaining crunch that defined rock 'n' roll.


Pure Rock 'n' Roll.

This guitar's been gently rocked and passionately loved, – earning honest, light player wear:  

- There is an area of light lacquer reaction on the back of the neck

- There is some light scratches and scuffing on the back. (see pics)

- Tuners have been upgraded to Gotoh, otherwise 100% original.

Zero structural issues. Zero buzz. 100% stage and studio ready.


Professionally Set Up & Dialed In Perfection:

Fresh from the bench with:  

Low, buzz-free action  

Perfect intonation across all 22 frets  

Optimal string gauge for slinky bends and chunky rhythms  

Pickup height tuned for maximum growl and clarity  


Plug in and unleash vintage PAF-style tones – creamy overdrive, bell-like cleans, and that signature Les Paul bark. Whether you're channeling Billy Gibbons, Slash, or your own signature sound, this axe is locked and loaded.

Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy 

We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:

We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.  


Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.

If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy.
