1992 Gibson Les Paul Special Wine Red, Excellent, GigBag, $1,695.00

Shades of 1955 but without the price and without the noise. Virtually identical to those high-priced Les Paul Specials from the 1950s; same wood, same shape and weight, just about everything, but with noiseless P-100 pickups instead of P-90s; look the same though and a great thing. Has a fab neck contour usually found only in 1960 or so, slightly wider and slightly shallower around the back, about as comfortable as it gets. All there at only $1695 w/bag
