Gibson Les Paul Reissue Old vs New

There are a lot of myths concerning Old vs Newer Reissues. 90s is considered the second Golden Era for Gibson. But starting from 2013, Gibson have done their best to improve their reissues. They are now using hide glue, unpotted pickups, more accurate dimensions and paints.

Georgian and I made a short test between two Gibsons from different era - 1990s vs 2020s

This guitar was made in 1998. It weighs just a bit under 3.9kg. It has a nice balance to it. The neck is medium chunky. The frets are medium jumbo.
