  1. What you've read so far is dead right. A foam stand safe for nitro is like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny....

     

    I've posted these pics a million times, I don't mind posting them again.

    Mother in law cut up a cotton bath towel and sewed Velcro on it.

    Made the wraps and even the little pieces to wrap the stand fingers on the top.

     

    Cheap insurance.

     

     

    By the time stand damage is done to your finish bad enough you can see it - too late.

    No polishing, no crying, nothing will fix it.

     

    I have a Les Paul and a 335 that show the results of less than a year on a "good, nitro finish-safe" stand.

    Hard to see, it's too subtle to photograph, but it's there - and I'll always know it.

    Wait, What??? awe, you just ruined Christmas and Easter for me. [flapper][biggrin]

    Welcome.

     

    It's shorthand. And Gibson isn't always consistent with what the individual letters mean. Here's a couple of examples.

     

    LPS6GTNH1 = Les Paul Standard 60's Neck Gold Top Nickel Hardware, the "1" signifies that it is not b stock or a 2nd (a holdover from when Gibson sold seconds - cosmetically flawed).

     

    LPPCHBGH1 = Les Paul Premium (figured top) Custom Honey Burst Gold Hardware

     

     

    Yours - LPTDSZCH1 - Les Paul TD SZ Chrome Hardware - the TD I'm not sure, might have something to do with the top; the SZ is in the spot where the finish is usually coded. You can email Gibson with the serial# and model# at service@gibson.com for a translation.

    TD may mean Traditional. Just a guess.

  3. Sign me up to the club - I have a GOW Les Paul Classic Antique with the Tom Morgan finish and it is simply an amazing guitar...

    Love it. I remember that one in the GOW run. I wish Gibson would do something like the GOW or GOTM again. I remember anticipating every week to see the new guitar coming out. I knew how to look at the whole list, but I wanted to be surprised every week. When I saw GOW #2, I just had to have it. I guess you could say it gave me the biggest GAS pains I have ever had.
