Yeah, that’s the USA not the Custom Shop. Small style pickguard, smaller lightening bolts etc.

I know these rarely show up for sale, but has anyone seen one of these come up for grabs lately? Specifically, the 1 of 200 version. Not one of the 50 Aged & Signed. http://es.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/gibson-angus-young-sg-11-12.aspx

Well... The Gibson AFD is a real Les Paul model. It is based on a Les Paul copy built by Kris Derrig. So: The Gibson AFD Les Paul is a real replica, of a non Gibson-built Les Paul copy, of a real Les Paul.

Specs on Mr. Rhoad’s Les Paul here: https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/the-guitars-of-randy-rhoads-1 “The Les Paul Custom, per 1972 spec, had a four-piece body: two layers of mahogany with a thin layer of maple in the middle and a carved maple top. It was white when new, but the nitrocellulose lacquer yellowed over time. It was also heavier than fifties era Les Paul Customs. Randy made only a few cosmetic alterations to the guitar, replacing the brass toggle switchplate and substituting the Grover tuning machines with Schallers. The most noticeable marking on this guitar was Rand

Maybe the Stopbar is stock, but the studs have been changed

Yeah. The AFD “replica” is a copy of a bootlegged copied Les Paul

Maybe this one?...

One of these may solve the problem. And without drilling. I put one on a Flying V with plain old stock Vintage tuners and have never had a tuning issue once it's restrung correctly and the strings stretched properly. And the guitar can be returned to stock condition with no drill holes if you'd like. GIBSON TP-6 Fine Tuning Tailpiece- https://www.gibson.com/Gear/Hardware/PTTP-Stopbar-Tailpiece

Please help me identify the model of this Les Paul with Floyd Rose

The Axcess first came out in 2008. Just about the time the pictures were taken. They were offered in two colors: Gunmetal Grey & Iced Tea Burst. http://archive.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/ProductSpotlight/NewModels/les-paul-axcess-standard-the-s/ -
Buckethead LP - Differences between first and subsequent runs
GibSinCity replied to mcmurray's topic in Gibson USA
The most obvious difference between the Bucket Head Les Pauls and the usual Les Paul model is it's bigger 27" scale. And I would imagine an original Bucket Head Les Paul case would be hard to find if you need one, since a regular aftermarket case or gig bag would be too small. -

New Gibson models sometimes have a "model lineup" name or category associated with them to distinguish them from previous or other new models. Recently, there had been an "HP", or High Performance line with certain specs, and a Traditional line with more "vintage" specs. etc. Here's a page with some 2019 Gibson "Modern" collection models. https://www.gibson.com/Guitars/Les Paul -

So you knew the scratch would be there? You sounded surprised at the condition in the original post. Photos from their "Gallery" show the exact guitar with serial number that you will get. As opposed to just a standard picture of a guitar when you click on a unit under "Electric Guitars". At least that's the way it used to be. If the picture/serial number you saw in their Gallery and ordered doesn't mach the actual condition or serial number of the guitar you received, then that's a problem worth returning it over.
-
Wow! That's pretty cool that you can find out so much info about your instrument and talk to actual previous owners. Good luck.
-
Did you pick that from Sweetwater's Guitar Gallery? Usually, you get to see the exact guitar you're buying there. If it looked OK in the Gallery, but you got that instead, then send it back. That's the whole reason for being able to see your purchase prior to delivery. If you just ordered a guitar without seeing a particular guitar you wanted and got that, well it could have been worse.
-
You said you purchased this 3rd hand. More than likely, a previous owner (Probably the first) already registered it. Just like the message said.

Well, they're takin' pre-orders at Chicago Music Exchange: https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/gibson-2017-usa-gary-clark-jr-signature-sg-gloss-yellow-pre-order

GIBSON SG SPECIAL: Real wood for the body or....?
GibSinCity replied to Fred1972's topic in Gibson USA
Is this what you're talking about? Very common on those finishes. -
I'm thinking the difference between 49.2mm & 50mm on the neck position cover will still get the job done. FROM GIBSON.COM store: http://store.gibson.com/neck-humbucker-cover/ "An original OEM replacement or restoration pickup cover that fits perfectly over any neck position Gibson humbucker, with a measurement of 50 mm..." http://store.gibson.com/bridge-humbucker-cover/ "An original OEM replacement or restoration pickup cover that fits perfectly over any bridge position Gibson humbucker, with a measurement of 52 mm..."

An original OEM replacement pickup cover that fits over any neck position Gibson humbucker, has a measurement of 50 mm between the centers of the outside poles. A bridge position Gibson humbucker, with a measurement of 52 mm between the centers of the outside poles.

You don't have to swap-out the hardware if you know what you want. You can buy a Gibson with: Locking Grover kidney-button tuners. Chromed aluminum Tune-O-Matic and aluminum stop bar. You just have to buy the model that comes with these upgrades.
-
Remember that when you get a "reissue", it will come with the original specs. Even some Custom shop guitars will come with "Gibson Deluxe" tuners, etc. if that's what's period correct. There are other models that come with the upgrades from the factory. http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2017/USA/SG-Standard.aspx
