Hi there,


I’m looking at getting a p90 equipped les Paul and have spied one of these.

Is there a minefield of models and specs to watch out for?


Thanks!

If you don't mind the extra weight (4.3 kg) you should jump on that one; send the seller an offer and see if he bites.
Haha I just might, don’t want to pay full asking but il see what their best is hopefully.

How would you (or anyone else) rate this against a tokai ls98s?

And is there a model number for these that would indicate spec, as far as finish, wood and hardware etc?

@Tsjackson the model BLP-STD S from the listing looks correct, at least to me .......
specs for this example generally should be:
(1) 2 piece center seam maple top
(2) 2 piece center seam African Khaya body back
(3) 1 piece African Khaya neck
(4) wired ABR type bridge
(5) zinc stop tail piece aka not aluminum
The H01134 serial number range should, IMO, offer a neck thickness at fret 1 of around .880" to .890" so, if you like a full '59 type neck profile/thickness this one should most likely be a good fit it for you.
IMO the build quality for the price point ratio can't be beat.

The above opinion is based solely on my experience with Classic Series examples from the H0**** serial # range from the 2010 to the 2012 era.

Good luck ..............
