Marshall100W Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Is this a price for a Les Paul Custom? https://m.thomann.de/es/gibson_les_paul_custom_sib_ch.htm?o=15&ref=mrl_a_15&search=1476259510 Serial number: CS 203689 What do you think?

btoth76 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hello and welcome to the Forums. Thomann is Europe's biggest musical instrument dealer. I doubt that they would sell any fakes. This is the direct link to the guitar: https://www.thomann.de/gb/gibson_les_paul_custom_sib_ch.htm?ref=search_rslt_Les+Paul+custom+silverburst_217750_18 Bence.

btoth76 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hello. If I am not mistaken, it was made in 2012 (first digit of the serial number). Besides the year, not much else can be decoded from the serial. "3689" is the production number. Bence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 If photographed at their in-house photo studio, the particular item shown on the Thomann website is in most cases one they sold in the past. This is different when the serial number is part of the article text and the item number refers to that single guitar only. Here's an example: https://www.thomann.de/es/gibson_les_paul_collectors_choice_39.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withba specific photo of the serial number, but not as part of the article text. Anyone do knows the reason it'd be cheaper than other europe online shops? I see the same guitar on Gibson's web and in other shops with a diference of aprox. 900 € (after money exchange). Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found three more web dealers in Germany offering this guitar at the same price, two of them have the model in stock, and one of them says it's made in 2016 and its S/N is CS 600354. I have already bought there and am a happy customer, but I don't know if they ship outside Germany. Thomann says she comes on request, and to my guess it would be a 2016, too. I bought most of my gear there, partly in person, partly via web, and I couldn't be happier as far as musical equipment and service are concerned.

Kaiser Bill Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The price converts to a little less than $3,700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
