hello all...been lurking this forum forever. been playing gibsons for over 30 years.
lately i got this beautifull early 06 les paul standard .i am not sure its a standard though cause it sounds and feels like a vos /histotoric with and all the pickups, talpiece , bar etc are all aged . it doesn't say nothing on the plastic nut on the headstock and it came with the regular standard case. what have i got? were the 06 standard made that good those years?
once i figure out how to post a picture i will post one.
thanks guys fot any input

Pictures would be a good a start! Kinda hard to tell by your description without pics.

well as it seems i am not allowed to post pictures but based on my description could someone help?
basicly it looks like a correct 59 standard with aged parts ...with a regular standard case.

A serial number would tell us if it is a historic. Any Made in USA stamps or anything on the headstock?

A historic from 2006 would start with a year of the historic (like 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0) the next number would be 6 if made in 2006 followed by the SN.
