Epiphone Les Paul Limited Edition, Goldtop (1997), with Gig Bag Included. Previously owned by Nevil Kidder of The Pinkees, Glider Etc.
A stunning example of late-90s Epiphone craftsmanship. This Limited Edition Les Paul features the iconic goldtop finish that defined an era of solid, reliable guitar building. The thick body resonates with warm, full-bodied tones perfect for blues, rock, and alternative genres.
Built with traditional Les Paul proportions and weight, this 1997 model delivers the classic neck-through construction and hardware quality that made Epiphones sought-after instruments. The goldtop finish shows character and patina consistent with a well-loved player's instrument.
Ideal for collectors, studio players, or anyone seeking authentic vintage tone without the premium price tag of a Gibson original. A genuine piece of 90s guitar history
The 1997 Epiphone Les Paul Limited Edition Goldtop (commonly built by the Unsung or Saein factory in Korea) features a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top/cap, a set mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard.
