Les Paul Model Number Explained


Recommended Posts

I have a Les Paul Standard Cobalt Blue.  The serial number is 180051516.  The model no. hand written is LPS18CXCH1.  I assume the LPS is Les Paul Standard, but what about the remaining?

I'm new to this instrument as it was gifted to me by "my rich uncle".  He purchased it from the Memphis Gibson factory showroom in Feb 2018.

Can you help me identify this beautiful guitar?

Very nice too.  So  CH might refer to the chromed hardware.   This guitar should have 4 push-pull pots. The guitar is a 2018 model - Ist C probably for Cobalt, not sure about the X...:-k
