Before Gibson set up the " Historic Shop"

Ok thats what I figured. That is one nice looking top.

Geeze I wish I had the cash right now, I really want a 60, or an R0. I prefer the slimmer neck.
Really like that top.

These 90- early 93 Classic 60 Re issues to me many are very magic , put side by side with a Standard of the same era. these smoke and its not just the tops , pickup and neck . Hmm Float a loan, I still look at Miss Honey, My 60 Re issue and think how lucky I was to get her

Thanks for the comments, Guys.
Don, this one's not a Classic.
The Classics came with uncovered 490 series (I think) pups.
These pups are 57 Classics with untouched solder joints.
Gibson confirms it to be a 60 Flametop Reissue, which differs from the Classic 60 Reissue. Confusing, huh?

In 92, Gibson added the Flametop Reissue to the Historic Series to help distinguish between the Flametop & Classic. In 93, the Classic's decal was changed to "Classic" instead of "Model" and the Classic became a product of Gibson USA,no longer a Custom Shop guitar.

FWIW: The 07 VG Price Guide shows Classics with tops like this to be worth $1700-$2700.

The Flametop Reissue is valued at $3500-$4500.

It's priced to move.

gotta pay the bills

Here's what Gibson had to say about the guitar when I checked it's pedigree......



I have a 92 Les Paul. I want to verify whether it's an LPCPP or 60 Flametop Reissue. The number is stamped in black ink 2 6562.
As you can see in the photo, the cavity markings were marked out with a magic marker before the guitar was finished, and the other markings (R6) entered at that time.

Thanks for your help.

comes up as a 1960 reissue from 11/92.

Whats confusing here and most wont know the difference anyhow is that its ink stamped Serial beginning with the actual year manufactured The 57 Classics sound better than the 496/500T Combo, least the 500T anyhow,
