zigge69 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I´m about to sell my Gibson Les Paul 57 Historic Reissue (R7) and I need some help about all this. The thing is that I get looooots of questions about the guitar and when it was made, if it got Brazillian fretboard and so on…. Serial Number 721440 http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n506/zigge69/DSC_0008_3_zpsa7938969.jpg http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n506/zigge69/DSC_0003_3_zps4381d473.jpg Thank you in advance!

I think yours is a 2002 model like mine and to my knowledge they didn't use Brazilian Rosewood that year or within the range of your SN. Someone may correct me and please do if I am wrong. Nice guitar by the way. I just bought a 2002 R7 and love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovehifi Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 1952-1960 Les Paul, Explorer, Flying V, and Futura reissues (since late 1992): M YRRR or MYRRRR M is the model year being reissued Y is the production year RRR® indicates the guitar's place production for that year. NOTE: This number includes all models for a particular reissue year - so, for example, a 1958 Reissue serial number may include '58 Reissue LP Standard and '58 Explorer production. Example: 7 5123 is the 123rd 1957 reissue model produced in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovehifi Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 What throws me off a little is your SN as its the first 6 digit SN I have seen on a R7. Guess they made more than I thought. Does your guitar have the COA Certificate of Authenticity? Will certainly help when selling it. Anyway hope the above info helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
