1997 Gibson Les Paul Gem Series - Sapphire (Pre-owned)

From the listing

Seller's description

A particularly distinctive Gibson from the 1990s, this 1997 Les Paul Studio Gem Series is finished in the striking Sapphire Blue finish and features a pair of P-90 pickups. The Gem Series was produced by Gibson during the mid-to-late 1990s and was offered in a range of distinctive gemstone-inspired finishes. Essentially based on the Les Paul Studio, the Gem combined the familiar mahogany/maple Les Paul construction with P-90 pickups and gold hardware, making for a slightly different take on the traditional Les Paul formula. This example is in very good overall condition, with the normal signs of use you would expect from a guitar of this age, including some scratches and the occasional ding or mark - the most noticeable ones being on the tip of the cutaway and around the edges (see photos). A couple of the screws securing the pickup cavity plates are replacements rather than the original screws.  Specifications: Model: Gibson Les Paul Studio Gem Series Year: 1997 Made in: USA Finish: Sapphire Blue Body: Mahogany Top: Maple Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Rosewood Fingerboard inlays: Pearloid trapezoid Scale length: 24.75" Frets: 22 Pickups: 2 × Gibson P-90 single-coils Controls: 2 × Volume, 2 × Tone Switching: 3-way pickup selector Bridge: Tune-o-matic Tailpiece: Stopbar Hardware: Gold Tuners: Gibson Deluxe Nut: 1.695" Case: Brown Gibson Hardshell          Weight: 9lbs 1oz (4.12kg) ***PHOTOS OF THE ACTUAL GUITAR IN STOCK***
