Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard — 1992 Green Metallic

Custom Shop Les Paul Standard, listed as 1992. Asking $4,397 for a high‑tier Les Paul that merits careful verification.

Why we selected it today

Why selected: Detected as a Gibson Les Paul Standard from the Custom Shop and offered at a notable discount to our historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark. For this daily feature we used a historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark of $5,384 (the live like‑for‑like pool is currently below the normal four‑listing threshold), and the listing’s $4,397 asking price is about 18% lower. These are observed asking prices, not confirmed sale prices, and the live pool for closely matched Custom Shop listings is thinner today. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

The model’s pedigree

Pedigree: The Les Paul Standard pairs a mahogany body and set neck with a maple cap and twin humbuckers; the Standard name is Gibson’s long‑running single‑cut benchmark, and Custom Shop examples can vary widely by specification and finish.

How the asking price compares

At $4,397, this sits against a current median asking price of $5,934.41 across 2 other closely matched listings. Allowing for the like-for-like asking-price history we have collected, the AG benchmark is $5,384. The featured guitar is about 18.3% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.
