Explorer 1958 yes or no ?

[Alec Krebs]

I’m about to try bye this explorer which seller claims is a custom shop 1958 hence I really don’t know much about about serial numbers I ask if anybody could verify this number for me ! In advance thank you 🙏 

serial number : CS84961

Gibson site says:

"Custom Shop regular production models
CSYRRRR
CS stands for "Custom Shop"
Y indicates the production year
RRRR indicates the guitar's place in the sequence of production

Example: CS10845 is the 845th reg. production CS model produced in 2001.".

Looks like a real number but no way to nkow if the guitar is fake or real. Look at the pots and see if there are Gibson pots inside maybe?
