alf1955 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Greetings! I own what was described at the time of acquisition as a 2012 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul. The instrument is finished in translucent purple with maple fretboard, block inlays and gold hardware. I'd like to know more about the instrument; however, I'm not certain how to go about doing so. The only information I have is the serial number, CS 201420. Is the serial number alone sufficient for determining the following: the actual year of manufacture, the style of pick-ups, solid-body or weight relieved, wood or artificial fretboard? Any assistance provided will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hello Alf, and welcome here. The Gibson item abbreviation and hi-res pictures would be helpful. The number 2 in first position of the CS number would indeed say 2012. The Custom Shop made several figured Les Paul Standard models with various translucent finishes then. I own one in transparent orange also made in 2012. Posting hi-res pics will call for uploading them to an account created at a cloud provider like photobucket and linking them to your post.
