Used Gibson 1990 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Vintage Electric Guitar
Description
This 1990 Gibson Les Paul Custom in its iconic "Black Beauty" finish offers a classic combination of features and the allure of a vintage instrument.
Key Features
- Classic Les Paul Construction: This solid body electric guitar is built with a mahogany body and neck, paired with a maple top and an ebony fretboard. Some models in the early 90s could be quite heavy due to the mahogany used at the time.
- Humbucking Pickups: The guitar features humbucking pickups, which may be the original Pat No 2.737.842 pickups found in both the bridge and neck positions on some examples, or Bill Lawrence-designed "circuit board" pickups on others. These pickups are described as offering a range of tones from warm and punchy cleans to screaming distortion when paired with high-gain settings.
- Ebony Fretboard & Inlays: The ebony fretboard, with its dark, tight grain, provides a smooth playing surface, often featuring block inlays.
- "Black Beauty" Aesthetics: The guitar is characterized by its elegant black (Ebony) finish and gold hardware.
- Controls: The instrument typically includes three-way pickup selector, two volume controls, and two tone controls.
Vintage Appeal
- Patina and Wear: As a vintage instrument, it may exhibit signs of use, such as shallow buckle rash, light finish scratches, and patinized gold plating on the hardware.
- Potential for Repairs: Some vintage guitars may have undergone repairs, such as headstock repairs, which are common for older instruments.
Sound & Playability
- Warm and Punchy Clean Tones: The humbuckers can deliver warm and punchy clean tones.
- Powerful Overdrive/Distortion: These pickups are known for handling gain effectively, producing bright and growly tones or thick and punchy sounds.
- Chunky Neck Profile: Some 1990 Les Paul Customs are known for having a comfortable, chunky neck profile.
- Sustain: Reviewers have noted the guitar's substantial sustain.
This 1990 Gibson Les Paul Custom "Black Beauty" offers a chance to own a classic and iconic instrument with the character and tone associated with vintage Gibsons. If you're looking for a black beauty this is it!
