[LP studio.. wine red or alpine white?]

Keep the white one. My white Custom and Studio look *****in' with their gold hardware and ebony fretboards!

[Custom Shop Serial Numbers]

Only one digit for the year. CY1234.

 

Oops, yes, my mistake. I guess everyone is so paranoid about fakes these days (me especially, having nearly bought one......) That's what's so great about this forum!

[Custom Shop Serial Numbers]

83-188

Is this a custom shop serial number?

It works different than the regular serial numbers' date=' right?

Looks suspicious - should be CSYY1234 where YY are the year and 1234 is the Custom Shop production number. You're missing a number.
