Here we’re looking at an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Classic 4 bass with a figured Maple neck and likely an Ash body, covered with a black poly finish. This example dates to December 22nd, 2014 and was built at St. Luis Opisbo, CA. It is in overall good condition.
Classic
The Gibson Les Paul Classic first appeared in 1990 and with a number of variations and finishes has been a part of the lineup ever since. The GoldTop finish has been around since 1952 as the first and only finish offered on the Les Paul model; this was the case until 1954 with the appearance of the Les Paul Custom in gloss black. Sunburst finishes were not offered on Les Pauls until 1957, paired with Gibson’s new Humbucking pickups.
This Gibson GoldTop Les Paul Classic Limited Edition is from 2017, with a Bigsby B7 unit added, apparently at the factory using Vibramate adapters, and with locking Grover RotoMatic tuners. Vibramate makes a number of adapters that allow reversible installation of US-made Bigsby products onto a wide range of guitar models, without permanent modifications to the instrument.

Visually, this Gibson Les Paul Classic P90 is very striking and you can see why the term ‘Black Beauty’ was used for the initial 1954 Les Paul Customs, which had a bridge 90 and a ‘Staple Top’ AlNiCo pickup in the neck position.

MORE →Eastman MD515 mandolins are a high quality yet reasonably priced rendering of the classic Gibson F-style instruments introduced in the 1920s during Lloyd Loar’s tenure at Gibson. One of Orville Gibson’s radical innovations was to bring violin family construction principles into the world of guitars and mandolins, leading directly to the arched top instruments that are commonplace today. The Eastman MD515 models are part of Eastman’s entry level instrument lines, but that doesn’t mean that they have skimped on quality, just on decoration.
