Info:
I bought this guitar from friend a few years ago, and have played it exclusively in church. It is all stock except the strap locks (I’ll include these and the original strap pins). My scale is not very accurate, but I get 8.5 lbs. According to the below info., this one is light. Itâ??s lighter than my 1960 Classic. There are slight nicks and scratches all around, and a place just in front of the bridge pickup where there is the slightest flaw in the nitro finish (I played it for two years before noticing it- non-photographical). Slight wearing of the nickel on the bridge and stop bar. All these are very small and only you will notice them, but I like to be completely up front.
Gibson stamped â??CLASSIC PLUSâ? in the bridge pickup cavity, and this is accompanied by a superimposed stamp, â??Checked on x2 1994â? Iâ??m not sure if it says â??2, 1994â?, or â??12, 1994â?. In any case, it was built in 1994. There are no issues with the guitar. The neck is not as thick as my 2005 1960 Classic- more like that of a Stratocaster; both pickups are very toneful, and the bridge pickup is particularly raucous. $70.00 flat-rate insured shipping to 48 continental United States. Domestic shipping only.
From the Gibson forum:
â??As history goes, J.T. Riboloff of the Custom Shop had been approached by a lot of players who asked him to build special one-off Les Pauls with slimmer profile necks as found on the 1960 Standard. After consultation with Henry Juszkiewicz, Gibsonâ??s CEO, a production version appeared in 1990. Classics had many features of reissue Les Pauls, including a smaller headstock, nickel hardware, ABR-1 bridge, Kluson style tuners, and vintage style knobs. For the first few years they did have the thin binding in the cutaway, but that changed by approximately 1993. To meet the demands of modern musicians seeking a high output sound, the Classics were equipped with hot 496R and 500T ceramic magnet pickups.
The original intention for the Classic model was to have plain tops, but given player demand for figured tops, the Classic Plus (with â??AAâ? grade flame tops) and Classic Premium Plus models (with â??AAAâ? grade flame tops) were introduced in 1992/93. The â??AAAâ? tops were supposed to be the most highly figured, with flame going from edge to edge, although there are some Classic Plus models with outstanding flame tops that rival their Classic Premium Plus brethren. Accounts vary on the exact start and end years, but the Les Paul Classic Premium Plus was introduced in the 1993 time frame, discontinued in 1997, and reintroduced from 1999 through 2001. The USA Classic Premium Plus models weights varied, but most are in the low 9 pound range.
