  1. I don't have it anymore, sorry. It was on my old computer.

    Tim

  2. The first number means it was built in '92. You have what is referred to as a "pre-historic." It is a reissue but not historically accurate. Those have solid bodies and short neck tenon.
  3. Nice guitar. Is the serial number 2 xxxx?
  4. I don't really follow the ES line much, but as I understand it, all ES models are made in Memphis. Bodies for historic ES guitars ('59 & '63 reissues) begin life in Memphis and are then sent to Nashville for completion. These do not have serial numbers on the back of the headstock.
  5. Definitely better quality pics but it's still fake. Google "fake Gibson Les Paul" and compare the headstock, front & back, to what you find on the internet.
  6. Cool guitars you have there. I don't have an SG Custom stop tail. Mine has the vibrola.

  7. Your avatar pic, where is that?

  8. Replace a nut.

    I'm not sure if he'd do this but try Tom Bartlett at Eastern maple Carved Tops.

    If you're willing to drive to Hamilton, Mike, from the Peghead is really good.

    If you're willing to drive to Niagara-on-the-lake, Fredddy, Freddy's Frets, is really good.

  9. Matt, I just realized you have an album on iTunes and bought it. $8.91 CDN coming your way...well, at least some of it is. lol

  10. Splinter Cell is awesome! I love the first three on the old Xbox system and probably beat the first one five times. The newer ones on 360 were a bit of a let down.

  11. Doing well. Hope things are good on your side of the pond.

  12. No, you can with Gibson USA serial numbers but not with Custom Shop. Just that it's the 267th made that year.
  13. Who the F are you??

    :)

  14. Seems like you already have most of your info. From Gibson's website: YYRRRM Y is the production year RRRĀ® indicates the guitar's place in production for that year. M is the model being reissued Reissue model codes: 1= SG Custom and Special 2= SG Standard 3= 1963 Firebird 1 4= 1964 Firebird III 5= 1965 Firebird V & VII 8= 1968 Les Paul Custom One thing to note is that the serial numbers repeat themselves every 10 years. I have a 2010 '68 Custom but the serial number starts with 00.
  15. Join the My Les Paul forum and ask this guy - nicolasrivera.
  16. I highly doubt that the first 60 would be worth any more money than the rest of them. Slightly different binding and tuners? Big deal, it's the same guitar. Hope you didn't buy yours as an investment and only bought it because you like BH or the guitar, itself. I doubt they'll ever be desirable or worth more than what they sold for new. Give it a few years and once all the hype dies down, people will try getting rid of them left and right for far less than what you expect right now...guaranteed.
  17. Jason, G0 5061 should be 61st Guitar Center 1960 plain top made in 2005. barret, that's actually the first one I've heard of with a 1 for the batch number. The pattern is as follows: YDDDYBRRR YY is the production year DDD is the day of the year RRR is the factory ranking/plant designation number. B is the batch number I guess that's the 1,148 made on that particular day. Can that be right? Man, that's a lot of guitars for one day's work!
  18. Wasn't directed at you. Nice reply. Seemed pointless' date=' though.
  19. I've tried it and it DOES feel different. The strings feel looser than normal. I didn't like it but others may.
