Selling my 1992 Les Paul Studio in alpine white with an ebony fret board. It is a great guitar with wonderful feel and killer sound. Comes with the TKL hard case that is shown in the photos. The white has discolored into the yellow that all these white lacquer finished guitars turn to with age. I tried my best to capture an accurate condition  of the guitar in the photos but I'm not sure that things show up too well in the pictures. This guitar is no beauty queen by any means showing all the signs of a well used guitar of its age. I will say that everything it lacks in appearance it makes up for in tone and feel. There are some nicks and scuffs but no cracks or repairs to the neck or head stock. So here is a list of every imperfection that I can see on the guitar. Lots of checking in the finish especially on both sides of the neck which I tried to capture in the pics, also around the volume and tone knobs and various other place around the guitar. There seems to be a possible gouge that was filled in on the top part of the body, I'm not positive but this is my best guess but in any case it blends in well and is not very noticeable. Some areas are more yellow than others and if you look closely you can see where a sticker of a pinup girl was removed on the back of the guitar because it is slightly discolored in areas where the sticker was. There is some checking on the front of the head stock, and some of the lacquer is split and cracked off in a few spots in the side of the ebony fret board near the body. I'm guessing this was from a careless re-fret at some time in this ones life. None of these extend to the neck and is not noticeable when playing at all, again I tried to capture in pictures. Some of the hardware that is not newly replaced is tarnished and some spots of rust on screws. The fret board is in great shape and looks and feels wonderful. the frets are in good shape with no wear that I can see. The neck is straight and the intonation is perfect. It stays in tune with newly installed Grover tuners that are chrome instead of gold as I was changing pieces over to chrome from gold. It also has a brand new Kluson bridge that is chrome. The original gold tuners and gold bridge with graphtech saddles will come with the guitar. The stop tail piece and pick up covers do not look all the gold anymore and with chrome showing through. Two of the screw heads snapped off when putting the new tuning machines on. Some of the screw holes were stripped so toothpicks were used to allow the screws to sink in. The tuners with the broken screw heads are still secured as the should be and not loose. All of the electrics work perfectly, no scratchy pots or loose wires. The wiring is all clean and when you remove the back cover pieces the cavities and components look new. The neck feels great and the action can be set low if desired. Over all it this great guitar that won't disappoint and I already regret selling it. Feel free to ask any questions and thanks for looking.
