  1. This post brings back the memories. The second guitar I owned was a 55 LP Jr. It also had the original finish removed and was stained walnut. I had it painted white and put a Mini Humbucker in. Fit perfectly with no routing. The P90 fed back to much into my Ampeg VT40 and V-4 amps. I still have the P90 but traded the Jr. for a Ibenez Rocket Roll. CW
  2. There was a Birdseye maple top that was said to be a custom shop guitar last year on Craigslist here. It ended up being a scam but the photo was real. Beautiful guitar. The old I'm across the pond send me the money scam. CW
  3. Hi Pru56 I trust your info more then I do CS dept. I asked about the pickups in my Email and so from the reply nothing about them. My tuners say Grover on them. I think it says alot about company that has no info on past products. I thought I give it a shot because guitarist said I would get a quicker answer even though in my first post it states I called them and got no info because they said they didn't have an on guitars earlier the 86. My studio is heavier then my Standard so I would think it Mahogany and since it's Wine Red you can see where the Maple top is put on. Thanks for you input and that is a nice Guitar you have I have the same case also. Mine Studio isn't as good a shape as you because when I moved once in the Winter the EX thought she was doing me a favor by taking it out of the case and can you say instant aging. That was 10 years ago and the results from opening it up back then keep showing up each day. Any place where it had been bumped or hit the clear coat is starting to come off. CW
  4. Here is the response I got from Gibson . Thanks for writing. Unfortunately, we don’t have the tuner specs in our records for this time period, but the fretboard would have been ebony. I’ve attached an early ad for you to take a look at. Thank you for the inquiry. You would think they would have the info on the products that they sell but I guess not. They did even address the type of pickups the Studio came with. In the ad they sent is say Alder for the wood. This is pretty sad. CW
  5. Thanks Pru56 That is the info I was looking for. I had heard the older Studios came Ebony fret boards but could not find any info about it. How about the tuners did they come out with Grovers also. The 490t pup would explain why there is so much difference in sound between the Studio and my SG Standard 2001. When did they change the Studio, Rosewood and 498 pup? CW
  6. Hi I need some info on my 86 Studio. What fret board is on it. Ebony or Rosewood? It has dot inlays. Also what pickups did they use back then and what turners came on it. It has grovers on it now. I bought this from a guy who went with a SG because of weight so I didn't buy it new and don't know what came on it new. I called Customer service and they didn't have any info on guitar before 87. Thanks for any help, CW
