Riboloff, designed a reissue Les Paul based on the popular and collectible 1960 model. The key difference between this guitar and other Les Pauls in production at the time was the slim neck profile. In addition, Riboloff added other features to make the instrument faithful to the original such as a narrow headstock, thin cutaway binding, aged fingerboard inlays, inked-on serial number, nickel hardware, vintage-style logo and aged binding on body and neck.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":0,\"335551620\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Classic was introduced in 1990 with a retail price of US$1,529.
