    Help me decide... 1987 Gibson Les Paul Custom vs. 90's Les Paul Custom 57' Reissue

    i ve had a 87 and i have a 93 standard i didnt like the shaws either but didnt like the 498 490 combo in the 90 s so i swaped pickups .i would go for the 87 and change pickups, but keep the shaws to put them back on for resale
