Re: Gibson Les Paul 101
Looks like it's the x-ray of a BFG. I'm sure that it's some washers that are used in the P90 pickup.

Re: Gibson Les Paul 101
It has been told to me that several models coming out the last two years, 2008 and 2009 are being embossed (pressed into the wood) the year of manufacture along with the normal serial number and below that the Made in USA. This is, according to the source, new for Gibson. He swears to have seen a number of these in both Studio's and SG's in those two recent years.
Can anyone confirm that being legitimate? |

Re: Gibson Les Paul 101
Thanks Dave. That might be an important factoid to know so someone doesn't brand one a fake because of it. Not that many Studio's have been the target of faking but... I imagine its possible. Has anyone ever seen an attempt to fake Studio's?

Re: Gibson Les Paul 101
Hello everyone!
I`m looking to buy a second hand Gibson Les Paul, and I`ve came accros this model, on-line. Gibson Les Paul Standard '08 god. - Kupujem Prodajem The seller claims it`s genuine LP. I`ve notticed it has an 8 digit serial number. Is this POSSIBLE? Is it a fake? The serial is 02008061. It`s impressed in the back of the headstock. It also has MADE IN USA 2008, impressed beneath it. I`ve read that Gibson introdouced a 9 digit serial number since Julu 2005. |

Re: Gibson Les Paul 101
Please Help, I have to choose between an 08 traditional and an 09 traditional. Is there any difference besides the truss rod cover? The 08 is blank and the 09 says traditional.Thanks

Re: Gibson Les Paul 101
great thread! thanks. Would be great to get some info on pre-historics...
Pretty sure pre-historics all had: solid body short tenon, medium to thin neck profile, serial numbers starting with the last digit of the year (e.g. my 89 starts with a 9)

Re: Gibson Les Paul 101
My gibson les paul studio is chainbered but does it matter, does it still let it have a meaty sound or make it sound more like an acoustic?

Why in the HELL did you do that to your guitar??? I mean, I'm essentially against intentionally aging guitars but that is ridiculous!!

Re: Gibson Les Paul 101
Gibson Les Paul finishes (the popular ones):
Goldtop: the first LP finish when it was intoduced ![]() Cherry Sunburst: Known as the "grail" of LPs, due to the short manufacturing peroid from 1958 to 1960.....also known as the standard finish ![]() Black (Ebony): Intoduced in 1954, this was first used on the Les Paul custom....and as a standard finish...also intoduced the humbucker and TOM bridge to the world ![]() ![]() thats my two cents.....
