SOLD Gibson LP DC Standard '98 - Limited Edition burst
What's Hot
![](https://www.dropbox.com/s/yhl2jxk8zf0zfo6/lpdc1.jpg?raw=1)
Bought new, way back, this is the first series of the DC Standard Les Pauls that Gibson made. I wanted the Limited Edition (burst) version - most are single colour tops - so I had to order it from the USA, because I couldn't find any UK dealer who bought in the bursts. Bill Puplett sorted out Gibson's ... er ... 'standard' fretwork when it first arrived and it plays great.
Gorgeous flamey maple in what Gibson called 'Tangerine Burst', bound neck, 498T/490R pickups.
Upgraded with Tonepros locking bridge and stoptail and locking Grovers, and there's a phase switch for the neck pickup controlled by the push-pull Tone knob.

Superb condition, except for one chip on the rear edge (more photos to come). Original Gibson hard case included.
Price: £1750 now 1600 now 1400
Prefer not to ship, so collect from Cambridge (or meet halfway/etc)
Comments
Thanks to a fellow forumite for the info that Gibson switched to thicker '50s necks for the later series of DC Standards in 2004.

The chip on the back edge, closer up:
(above shot shows some lacquer lines around the logo/transfer thingy)
Withdrawn
Possible trade: bog-standard Telecaster up to half that value.
