I just bought a 93 Gibson LP custom amber Flame top.. it has the ultra flames like the 68 reissue LPC, does anybody know what this model was called back in 1993 was it a LP custom plus? or Premium top?
Thanks

I think we call that a Les Paul Badass. That is clean right there. What kind of pickups are in it?

Sweet guitar man!!! Reminds me of the Joe Perry Boneyard guitar. Congrats!!
Thanks.. I've been told this guitar is Probably just a Gibson LPCustom plus that was made for a few years 93 to 98 ? Its a little on the heavy side but it sure sounds and looks great.. I think its gona be a keeper.

you might want to look in the pickup cavity to see if the model was written in...my classic plus has "LPCP" written in ballpoint pen under the bridge pup-bet it is a Plus or premium plus...sweet mutha,indeed

thats a Les Paul Custom PLUS-in my book, its a Custom Premium Plus!!same deal on classics-they gave Premium Plus to the most figured tops, but I have seen many Plus models that look as stunning as the Premium Plus models-differnece was 1-200 bucks or so(I think...)

Congrats man. That is beautiful. I have an Amber Plus Top , but it's no where near as nice as that. Could it be an LP Custom Classic?
That is one beautiful Les Paul.
They just get better with age. All you have to do is take care of them like any fine instrument. Mine's 34 years old, I've had it since '84 and I've refretted once. It's my main axe and is heavy as hell, but nothing else I've ever played sounds or feels like this guitar.
Congrats on the Paul!

From all the research I've done, lesterpaul must be right.. I did find a 1993 Les paul (signature) as they call it, pickguard signed by les, on ebay for sale today that looks just like it.. ha , they are asking 5400 but it has a custom shop logo on the back of the neck, but other than that its dead on to mine. But I think mine is just a LPC plus or premium plus.
I've just replaced the pickups with the gibson classic 57 and classic 57 plus and I'm going to buy all new Gibson gold hardware.. for the bridge and stop and change the knobs to the Gibson 60's black top hat with gold incerts.
I thought about changing all the plastic pu rings and switch plate and knobs to the cream and gold.. but might not look that good on a custom. I haven't owned a LPC for about 15 years, I've been playing strats, This guitars tone and playabilty and looks has made me a Gibson man again.. It just dont feel the same playing a strat now.

this is cool...it might be a premium plus-I do not know how they labeled those...a "LPCPP" is a Classic Premium Plus-this isnt a custom shop deal(no decal on back?)-I didnt even think they made these past mid 90's..a killer, no doubt
