Hi all,

I've been searching all morning here and elsewhere for info on list prices or M.A.P pricing for Les Paul Studios back in 1991-1994. Any 90s pricing will do. (Interested in the regular Studios, not the Studio Lites or other unique models.)

Does anyone remember what he/she paid for a new LP Studio in the 90s?

Thanks for any info you can provide! I really appreciate it.

CJ

I recall paying $800 for mine. Black/gold hardware. I think the case was extra $.

I remember when I was buying my first guitar in ‘91-‘92 that a white Les Paul Studio with gold hardware and an ebony fretboard was $999. By way of comparison, I know for certain a SG Special in 92 was $440 and a SG Standard was $200 more than the Special.

$950 was the asking price in most stores here, then the sale or special promotions besides the boxing sale and so forth. So $800-850 is quite safe for on.:dude:

I just paid 800 for a used one from '97- its the best non-vintage Gibson I have ever played. SO resonant and plays like a dream.
