I've been offered a Custom Shop Les Paul. Serial number is 9 6235, so it seems to be a '59 reuissue built in 1996. I haven't been able to find any specification about Les Paul Reissues built in 1996.
Does anybody know something (pickups, wood, differences to todays V.O.S., etc.)?
The price would be 6700.- swiss francs (which is about 5500 $), a new V.O.S. would cost about 7400 $ in Switzerland. What do you think about the price? (The guitar has a really beautiful flame maple top and in Switzerland Custom Shop Les Pauls are quite rare). I was also told, that the neck of this guitar was changed to be like the one of the Jimmy Page signature model.
Another option is to buy a new 1958 V.O.S. Les Paul (this would cost even less than the above Les Paul). What would you think about this?
Thanks for all the answers.
