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.

Our Guarantee
We stand behind every guitar we sell. “Good enough” is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.
Neck & Setup - (unless otherwise noted)
- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss-rod issues.
- Intonation is spot-on.
- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.
- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and all frets on all guitars are polished to shine like new with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:
- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.
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.
We are a small business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.
Payment, Shipping & International Duties
- All items can be shipped internationally. Buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.
- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
International Shipping Note
International shipping prices shown are for most countries. Certain countries have higher costs. We try and avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. Contact us for a personalized quote.
