    NGD: 1992 Yamano Les Paul Classic

    I love me some snot. Some of the most beautiful original 50’s Lesters are snot city.

    Will I Devalue My 1999 Les Paul Classic If I...

    Yes, in the long term. Classics from that era are becoming rare in unmolested condition, and today’s trend against ceramic pickups and ‘snot’ inlays are short term, like quartz countertops and LVP flooring.

    Your opinion on which Classic looks best

    How specifically did they cheapen them?
  5. U

    Which model of Les Paul would you Invest in?

    Forget guitars. Warren Buffet suggested for the average guy to invest in an S&P 500 index fund, and let it ride. I’m paraphrasing, obviously, but he did mention the S&P specifically.

    Let’s see your G0s!

    Funny, my #1 guitar is a 2001 Classic PP, and the serial number has no space between year and serial designation (gasp), and the font isn’t identical to a real burst! Holy cow!

    Not surprised at all, but I still think those guys need psychotherapy! ?

    Let’s see your G0s!

    That would be a SERIOUS hang up.

    Will I Devalue My 1999 Les Paul Classic If I...

    Excuse my derailing this discussion by asking the question, but why would anyone buy parts to modify the sound of an instrument before even plugging it in to hear it? I don’t get it. How do you know you won’t like the stock pickups?

    Let’s see your G0s!

    I have a new (to me) G0 in lemon burst on the way from a Reverb seller. I’m very excited! While I wait for the brown truck to arrive, here’s a seller pic. let’s see yours please!

    1960 Classic - Years of Manufacture

    Hard to imagine that’s just a ‘Plus’. They must have had some great wood coming in the day they selected that top.

    1960 Classic - Years of Manufacture

    Classics are great guitars, from 1990 till 2003, they were nearly identical in terms of specs, with the exception of silkscreen, inlay color, and binding detail in cutaway. You’ll never notice these differences unless you’re a nerd and care about such things. The necks on my 2000-2001 examples...

    What exactly did I buy here? Classic? Plus? Premium Plus?

    Correct. I had a 2003 with ABR-1
