Supposed "Limited Edition" 2016 Les Paul?

Hello,

 

I recently purchased this 2016 Les Paul Standard pre-loved. Seller indicated that it is a Limited Edition with '57 pickups, but I can find no reference to it on the Gibson website's catalog. One tip off could be that it does not have a ring around the pickup switch like the walnut top Limited Edition that is listed. Serial # is 160040491. Can anyone provide any additional information on it?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Brian

The 20XX Gibson model range gets released towards the end of the previous year.

If memory serves the "2017" models were on the shelves from around late October 2016 and would, of course, be dated accordingly.

Hey thanks for the help guys. I got an email from Gibson CS this morning. Based on the serial number their records show it as Mahogany body with AAA flamed maple top, '60s neck profile with compound radius fingerboard, and Burstbucker Pro pickups with coil taps. It is not a "Limited Edition", but for what I paid for it pre-loved in mint condition ($1000 under list) and the way she looks and sounds I'm still cool with it!
