SOLD?/PSA: '97 Gibson LP Studio DC At DGS

[crunchee]

No affiliation, not a Hamer wannabe (supposedly).  Interesting thing is that Gibson was still using one-piece Mahogany bodies on off-the-rack non-CS solidbodies back then, good luck finding THAT on a non-CS Gibson  solidbody nowadays--see back photos of this guitar:

Best Gibson pickup set IMO on that (498T bridge, 490R neck)...

That is a pure, unadulterated rock-n-roll axe right there. Already got lots of marks and dings. Just play the crap out of it with no worries.

I got a little excited when that one showed up yesterday. I hemmed and hawed for several minutes. It appears to be everything everyone has stated above, a real deal one piece body rock and roll music maker.

Then I realized why it looked so familiar. It is an almost exact copy of the Gibson I almost bought way back in 2010.

Then I found this and haven't looked back.

Wish those top two frets were accessible.

I went through that too. Bought my '96 with TOM and think it's a fine guitar. I played the wrapper more though.

I'd take a wraptail bridge over a TOM any day of the week! 😀

I recently bought a '90s Studio. Awesome hunk of wood.
