I have a thing about buying a special guitar from the month and year of my children’s birth. Something to pass down to them on their 21st birthday. They may hate music, who knows, but I think it’s still a cool thing to have. Hopefully it reminds them of me.

I thought I’d start this community off with a post featuring one of the favorites in my collection, my 1989 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
- Rare iteration produced for Gibson’s Japanese distributor Yamano
- Similar to the Showcase model but with a Nashville bridge
- Cream plastic, Goldtop lacquer finish, and a pair of clear bobbin P-100 pickups
- P-100 pickups deliver the growl and midrange fullness of a P90, but with an extra hum-cancelling coil
- Solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body and carved maple top
- Weighs a light 9lbs 1oz
- One-piece mahogany neck with a slender C shape at the nut and a gentle taper up the fretboard
- Dark, tight-grained rosewood fretboard with original wide/flat Gibson fretwire
- Stock Gibson Deluxe tuners and CTS pots from 1988
- Original Gibson/Yamano COA booklet and brown tole Gibson USA hardshell case
Overall, she’s an incredibly well-preserved beauty and a tribute to the ’56 Les Paul, sure to spark some envy in the hearts of fellow guitar enthusiasts!
