Junior Jr III Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I received my first Les Paul about 3 weeks ago as a birthday present, a TV Silver Standard. Then, yada-yada-yada, and yesterday I brought home a Blackback. I will contend that it is also a birthday present since I've made it to the half century mark. And now, the photos!!

Junior Jr III Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 A couple more pictures taken last night before changing the strings on the BB. Looks good in pictures but it was very grimy. Two of the strings were actually black. I will probably change my avatar soon. I'm so Happy I can't stop \:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Jr III Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Congrats. Why two? What is a blackback? you mean the back is black unlike the front? Yep, blackback means just that. It was only supposed to be one as a present. Then I found the blackback but by then I was sort of attached to the TV silver. It plays so smoothly and my 6 year old likes that one better. So, two. And as LPS1976 says, two IS better than one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Jr III Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 So, for anyone who might know, I do have one question about this TV Silver Standard. From what I've read production was supposed to be limited to about 1000 of each model produced; standard, custom, sg. But in deciphering the serial number it looks like I've got the 1,812th made. Here's the number and here's the deciphering as pulled from EpiWiki 12 = year, 2012 12 = month, Dec 15 = factory, Qingdao 1 = unknown 1812 = unit produced Does anyone have a different reading of the serial number? I'm only surprised that they would have gone over the 1000 piece 'limited production' by nearly double. I'm still gonna play the heck out of it!

I'm pretty sure that means the 1,812th produced that month (total at the factory, not just that model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if it might be a factory total number but thought that there might be something specific to a limited run model. Maybe the 'unknown' number has to do with that.
