Take one out and see what it says on the back or contact Gibson with your serial number and they might be able to tell you. Edited October 7, 2021 by Sgt.

Thanks Sgt. pepper—-I was under the impression it would just say “GIBSON USA” I just put in new strings so I guess I’ll contact Gibson. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Not sure what Gibson was putting into a LP Custom in 2004. And unless you closely inspect the wiring you can't be sure that a previous owner didn't change them from the originals anyway. Main thing is they sound good to you! You could take them out and photo the backs and send the photos to Gibson, they may be able to tell you what they are. Or if they are replacements hopefully there is something on the back to identify them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
