The transwine one was a total custom refinish, I sold it for $1700 on eBay. You will notice the multiply binding on it, something factory CMT e/2's did not have. The neck joint was shaved and smoothed for smootest transition. It's funny because a bass player bought it, quit playing bass and fondles the Purple Poser Eater more then his wife
I also sold the CMT in stripped down form to a friend that was jonsing for it. I kept the TRC, TP-6 and the Gibson bridge
I am currently looking for a Les Paul Standard or Deluxe now so I am offering the beveled maple/walnut model in even trade for the right Les Paul
Here is a Skyshot of it
For the right Les Paul, I will even include a set of orignal e/2 Dirty Finger's. The maple version is the rarest of the beveled e/2 line. The walnut topped ones were the most produced and weighed about 4-5 lbs less. All the painted beveled e/2s were the walnut topped versions ones. Mine weighs in at just over 12lbs
If anyone is interested in a Les Paul trade, shoot me a PM. I am not really interested in chambered or weight-relieved models. The newer Black Beauty Classic would be the exception
Regarding the Dean's I have owned probably close to 25 of them and will own more. USA Dean's are like Pringle's, one is never enough. They truly are incredibly well made instruments

DON"T DO IT
Dude, I reiterate, it will be fugly. Looks like some kind of vintage surgical apparatus of torture . Man, you could mount it with a quick release and whip it off for some emergency heart surgery
Buy an Epi Explorer, they play kickass and you can hack it to pieces and ugly it up with a completely clear conscience. $300 used Korina, add $100 for good used pups (unless you have a few laying around) and Bigsby it up, hell, even Clapton cut it. You could make a Holy Explorer with a Bigsby!!!!
I'm telling you as an Explorer Brother, I will find out where you live if you hurt that poor girl

A Bigsby on an Explorer makes for a very ugly guitar

This is all I could find regarding Custom Shop and Limited Edition Gibson reissues:
1952-1960 Les Paul, Explorer, Flying V, and Futura reissues (since late 1992):
M YRRR or MYRRRR
M is the model year being reissued
Y is the production year
RRR® indicates the guitar's place production for that year. NOTE: This number includes all models for a particular reissue year - so, for example, a 1958 Reissue serial number may include '58 Reissue LP Standard and '58 Explorer production
Not really any help though since your number starts with 0 so you may have to contact Gibson to find out. The Explorer was re-issued as a '58 and a '76 so the first number of the serial number would be 5 or 7. That make's it obvious that it is not a Custom Shop. My best guess it was just a limited edition natural finish model
-
You sure the first number is not really a 9 because you usually read the 1st and 5th digits for the year which would translate as a 2001 by the number you gave which would be impossible if you bought it back in the early 90s

I am assumig that they are based on the '79 import series and if so, they are a lot of bang for the buck. The USA Schenker V kicks butt
