Leadfoot Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hello everybody! New member here. I picked up a Custom Shop Les Paul Custom 3 pickup in wine red last year. It's near mint. I was just wondering if anyone could give me a ballpark figure on its value. Serial is CS 9628. I called Gibson. The guy looked it up and said it appeared to be a 1999, and said it appears to have been custom ordered. Any insight would be most appreciated!

Sgt. Pepper Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Depends. Some like 3 pups and some don't. It's bad a-ss either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the reply Sgt. Pepper. Good point. Some people probably wouldn't like it. I was thinking about getting some push-pull pots installed for versatility. Edited August 7, 2020 by Leadfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Beautiful guitar from a good period for Gibson. I have a dark cherry custom with P90s. It has a 1956-spec neck which I love. You can get a 6-way switch for all the different pickup combinations. https://www.freewayswitch.com/products/ Wiring might get complicated - wouldn't want to find the switch cavity has to be enlarged. A push-pull for out-of-phase between neck and middle could get you near that Peter Green tone. I am in UK so can't help with price. Would go for a lot more over here though.

Leadfoot Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Thank you so much jdgm for that link! I was doing some reading on the freeway switch, and it looks like it can be installed without any routing. Would love to get that Greeny tone. Thanks again!
