About to buy a Gibson LP custom shop guitar but I wanted to check with this forum first before buying. which year is this guitar?

Eracer_Team Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Headstock was broken off and re-glued back on I’d probably skip it unless it’s really cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimakerholdt84 Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Yes, I saw the headstock. What do you think its worth? Do you know what year it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Without looking up the serial number it looks like an early “reissue” but I wouldn’t suggest that being “early” is desirable in this case. The specs are like what you’d get on a USA Jr. This is not the same as the guitar in your link, which is built with a much higher degree of historical accuracy, one piece body, correct tuners and logos and shapes etc. This example has also had a headstock repair and the pickup cavity must have been routed to accept that humbucker. It might be a really great guitar, someone apparently really liked it. I would only buy it for CHEAP but who knows that could be a really amazing guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimakerholdt84 Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Would have been great to know the year of the guitar. Antony’s knows? I’m struggling to find the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I don’t think Gibson was doing the custom art historic in 1990 so if the first digit in the serial is 0 then it’s probably a 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
