Mikratt Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I found a 2008 Gibson Les Paul classic with 3 pickups which he claims is original from factory. The serial number has only 6 digits 080403. Is this legit? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of any other runs, but might have been for one of the big box chains.

Mikratt Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 This ones black but only 6 digit serial number. And the head stock says Les Paul Classic. That’s the parts that I question is the serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 6 String Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 This ones black but only 6 digit serial number. And the head stock says Les Paul Classic. That’s the parts that I question is the serial number. Yes, the classic models in the 2000’s used 6 digit serial, earliest examples which also had the 1960 on the pickguard had as few as 4 digits (these ones also had Les Paul Model on the head stock instead of classic and were from the early 90’s). So if all original I would guess it to be a big box store exclusive, most of these types of runs never make it to Gibson’s site. To be 100% sure email the serial to Gibson customer support, they will be able to tell you what the guitar is or isn’t. Hope that helps, Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
