truetone6 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I got this one 1993 Wine Red Studio. with Gold hardware at a local store today. I think it is a much nicer guitar that the Silverburst I didn't buy. Got this amp for it too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Indeed. At the end of the day a guitar with a headstock repair is just a broken guitar. There are tons out there that aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Red wine is tight. I had a Merlot LP Trad Pro II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truetone6 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Thanks Guys! Someone on another forum told me that this guitar is actually a 94 not a 93. He said that Gibsons had a special serial number that year starting with "94" because it was Gibson's 100th Anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 One of my favourite LP finishes. I tried out a similar looking standard 5 years back. Less common but still great looking. I think a Studio version would have suited me better too. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell because if you do the "conventional" SN decoder for this date range, you will soon find out that there's no 400th+ day of the year. So you have a Centennial Gibson LP. Killer man! Much better score than the broken headstock mess you almost got into. Congratulations and enjoy for many years 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Forrest Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Well done! I like the wine red very much, too. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truetone6 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thanks guys! I used to have the same guitar. I bought it in 2004. It was my first Gibson and and my first Les Paul .Unfortunatly I sold it many years ago so I was happy to find this one. The one I had(below). That one came with a black case with a grey interior and shroud.What years did Gibson use cases like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truetone6 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Found out the one I bought in 2004 was actually a 2002 model so It was nearly new when I bought it. Now it would be nearly "vintage",lol.It seems funny to think of guitars like my 94 Gibson Studio as a vintage guitar but it really does look like one now as the finish has darkened beautifully to an almost "Ox Blood" color and the gold hardware has a nice patina.

RandyB Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I see two guitars from another manufacturer which don't belong in the same photo with that beautiful LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
