Thundergod Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 WTF I hate this kind of thread where TOTAL NOOBS come and ask what they have bought... when you bought it, what did you ask for, BOY? Just kidding... (hope you didnt take it seriously or spilled any beverages on your keyboard!) Looks like a vintage mahogany... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 When did you buy it from ? That is the real question here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight959 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thankyou ladies! The guitar was purchased from the biggest UK seller of Gibson guitars and their not just box shifters too! they know there stuff! It was prchased last year (online) and it was advertised as a Gibson LP Studio Worn Cherry with the 490 pups... Now with all the recent threads with respect to Studios, I have seen several references to this Studio as being the VM.. .............Gibson also do a worn Brown too! Can anyone say for certain....

Tim Plains Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 There may also be BB Pro 1 & BB Pro 2 stickers on the underside of the pickups. The Les Paul Studio has 490/498 pickups. The Vintage Mahogany has Burstbucker Pro 1 & 2. You have a Vintage Mahogany, newbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take the screws out on the rings?? And Timothy I just play the thing not sit down and take it apart.... My maintenance stretches as far as changing the strings and oiling the fret board...The rest is for the experts! Flight959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLiveSoundGuy Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I stand corrected. Apparently what was once called Vintage Mahogany, is now called Worn Cherry. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Studio/Specs.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agiant Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hey! I have the same question. Yesterday I received a studio worn brown, and I like it very much. I'd like to know which pickups are mounted in this baby. The name "vintage mahogany" seems to be deprecated. The Gibson site says that all studios have the 490 pickups, but it also says that it has a carved maple top (¿?). The online shop where I bought it also says that they are 490s... I'm confused! Any advance in the research? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 First off you need to know.... When did you buy it from... When did you buy it from ? That is the real question here. That really is the essential question. Once that is answered, then there is nothing more to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr newhaven Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 heres the deal people! gibson recently and by recently i mean maybe last year started to release their studios with the 490's in the worn cherry and faded brown... LES PAUL VM's were only available for purchase from GUITAR CENTER and MUSICIAN'S FRIEND... its like a special run of them more or less... depending on the date on the headstock (if its from 2006 lets say...its a VM...) gibson only started to offer that finish in a studio within the last year or so...so without taking your guitar apart...thats a great place to start! hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr newhaven Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 the real question is what do you want it to be...a VM or a studio? you better not say studio! the BB Pro's in my opinion are better than the 490's but believe it or not...not everyone agrees! i knew a kid who took out his BB Pro's to put in the 490's...then you know what? he shouldnt have bought a VM!

mr newhaven Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 it sucks really because as a VM owner...i purposely bought my guitar partially because of the finish... i liked the raw wood! and the BB Pro's and the Mahogany top and body! now that they offer all studios in that configuration it cheapens my experience! haha not too much though!

agiant Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I only wanted to know the model of the pickups, I like them and the rest of the guitar :- I've bougth it from an UK online shop this week, and it was made in 2008, so I guess that they are 490s. Now, the "carved maple top" mystery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agiant Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Then, the studio worn brown/cherry is all mahogany or it has a a maple top? The woods seem the same, but I'm a newbie, please illustrate me Thanks for the help guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
