Gibson Les Paul Custom silverburst identification

[Hom639]

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.

This is my first post, so I hope I've done it right.

 

Thanks for reading!

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.

Beautiful guitar, congrats! I love Silverburst and have a general weakness for Les Paul Customs with chrome hardware.
