Twang Gang Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Are you speaking of the fretboard material, or the inlays? I believe a 2012 Custom Shop LP would have an ebony fretboard. More recently a lot of CS guitars have richlite fretboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Simpkin Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 It looks the same as my 355 Ebony.

ChristopherJ Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Mark, your specs list both ebony and richlite. If you really want to know, call Gibson with your serno and ask. However, the OP's pics don't look like ebony to me. Here is why they switched: https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2011/08/31/140090116/why-gibson-guitar-was-raided-by-the-justice-department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
