Rokkarolla Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Dear friends at Gibson! Could you please help me to identify CS 101433 Les Paul in Candy Apple Blue VOS I am about to buy? Seems that seller isn't 100% sure of info provided. 1. I have read it is a limited run of 25 guitars, is it so? (ther's some info at Gibson Custom Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/notes/gibson-custom/exclusive-international-limited-runs-for-canada-europe-now-available/269763633035792) 2. Is it chambered or weight relieved? 3. Does it have rosewood or ebony fretboard? 4. What pickups are used? Thank you very much indeed! I need to make up my mind this weekend... Michael, Moscow, Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsinla Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I found this, might be helpful; The Gibson Les Paul Custom CAB V.O.S. is modeled after the legendary mid-50s model yet it also comes with some modern features. The mahogany top of the Gibson Les Paul Custom CAB V.O.S. is hand-carved, and it's fitted to a mahogany body with tone chambers to reduce weight and improve resonance. The neck of the Gibson Les Paul Custom CAB V.O.S. is made of mahogany and comes with the traditional rounded 50s Gibson profile, the rosewood fingerboard features beautiful block inlays. The Gibson Les Paul Custom CAB V.O.S. is equipped with two humbuckers: a 490R in neck position which delivers an authentic PAF sound and a 498T in bridge position that delivers a higher output with strong highs and mids due to the Alnico V magnets. The Gibson Les Paul Custom CAB V.O.S. features gold hardware and comes in a candy apple blue finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokkarolla Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I found this, might be helpful; Thanks a lot! But I've already googled and only have more questions now. Seller insists that fret board is ebony, not rosewood. I also run across controversial info considering pickups. Not 490 & 498 as you mentioned but Burstbackers 2&3. http://guitarvillage.uk.com/product/11001-118/Gibson-Les-Paul-Custom-VOS-HB344C-Pre-Owned-2011-EC-Candy-Apple-Blue-Inc-Case-and-COA.aspx Wrote to Gibson tech support - still silence after a week waiting :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
