Les Paul Vintage Mahogany - when did they switch from 4xx's to Burstbuckers?

patternrecognition · 11-24-2008, 02:57 PM

When did the LPVM's switch from the 400 series humbuckers to Burstbuckers? Was it when they started chambering in Oct 06 or sometime earlier?

Thanks!

As far as I know that model always came with Burstbuckers

Maybe they weren't called "Vintage Mahogany" at that point, but I've seen Studios with the Worn finish, maybe circa 2005?, that came with the 400series humbuckers...

VM always had BBPro's. Not the same as the faded studio's.

Are there other differences between the two?

The Faded Studios had maple tops with 490R and 498T humbuckers.
