[what kind of gibson do i have]

I purchused this guitar and not sure what it is

the number is 90235525

 

 

why would you buy a guitar and not know what it is?

 

call gibson and give them the SN.

[ES-339]

inspect the guitar before you buy it. problem solved.

 

my ES-339 is perfect. sweet thread resurrection, though.

the burstbucker 1/2 are actually more vintage correct in that they have an uneven number of windings. it is those extra windings that give the BBs that little edge that i like. the 57s are good, but they dont do it for me. i havent played the 57 plus though

[my '58 VOS]

i dont think he jumped all over you. but you are both right. it really just depends on the year and the model. most historics made in the last 5 years have the BBs. but i have also seen new R8s with 57 classics when they are supposed to have BBs.

[The inside of my USA Gibson case is bleeding something.]

Is it a new guitar or new case where the glue could be uncured or ??? I've never seen that in recent cases I had seen older cases bleed color if wet especially the pink cases onto light colored guitars but not what your describing.

i have seen the old 90s case bleed into white guitars.

 

only think i can think of is maybe humidity? sounds too stupid and obvious to be right though....

[500T and 496R Your Opinions]

keep in mind that Jimmy Page washed his hands of the guitar you speak of.

 

i love the way my Classic looks, but i dont like the way it sounds. the PUs are too harsh and grating for my ears. I like more vintage sounds from a LP, which is why I like the BB Pros. For heavier stuff, I have my LP Studio and SG with the 490/498 combo.
