Hom639 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hello In November 2016 I bought a Les Paul Custom in silverburst. As I have no experience in serial numbers, I hope some of you can tell me anything about the guitar/serial number. Serial number: CS 601955 I bought it new, so I'm the first owner. I bought it from an authorized dealer, but you can never be too sure. Photos of the guitar: https://goo.gl/photos/fRaW2jk6M28La2uT7 This is my first post, so I hope I've done it right. Thanks for reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny3j Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Welcome Hom639 I could be wrong, but: I think the forumula is CSYXRRRR CS is Custom Shop Y is the year of manufacture X is the location of the Custom Shop (0=Nashville & 5=Memphis) RRRR is the production rank So CS 601955 is a Custom Shop guitar made in 2016 in Nashville and was the 1,955th guitar built that year.

Thanks for the reply! I think you might be right about the serial number. I tried to look at the serial number at Gibsons website before this post, but I couldn't find anything about the X location of the Custom Shop.

capmaster Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Beautiful guitar, congrats! I love Silverburst and have a general weakness for Les Paul Customs with chrome hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
