dylumph Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I've got a 07 natural topped Les Paul Custom that I bought new. Withall the richlite fretboard talk on the various forums I am just wondering, am I safe? Mine sure looks like ebony. When did they start this?

Twang Gang Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Well there is nothing wrong with Richlite - so you don't have to worry about being "safe". But I am pretty sure they didn't start using Richlite until just a few years ago when the feds broke in and confiscated Gibson's Ebony. (2012 or 2013? I don't recall exactly). A 2007 should be Ebony.

dylumph Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thanks so much for the replies! For awhile on various forums, I've seen lots of talk (pro & con) and I never saw when they started and to me 2007 seems recent so I thought I'd ask here, where I always get straight answers. I need to go to a local Gibson dealer and try a richlite equipted Custom. Who knows, I might like it! Thanks Y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
