brazilianwood Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 HI, I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT A GIBSON SG CUSTOM SHOP VOS WITH MAESTRO. THE SERIAL IS 091042. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO KNOW WHEN IT WAS MADE AND ALSO WHAT KIND OF PICK UPS IT HAVE THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarJunkie Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Congratulations and olá! I just picked up a 2007 Custom Shop SG with Maestro as well. Unlike the regular production Gibsons, the Custom Shop serial numbers don't specify the day it was made. I'm not an expert on serial numbers, but I believe the "09" would indicate 2009 and the other four numbers should indicate the 1042nd guitar built in the Custom Shop that year. I say "should" because I'm not sure how the other Custom Shop serial numbers beginning with "CS" figure in to that as well as the R8s, R9s, etc. P.S. - Photos please?

Tim Plains Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 When you change the strings, remove one pickup and you should see a sticker underneath. Burstbuckers 1 & 2. 091042 09 - 2009 104 - 104th one made. Not sure if that means the 104th historic SG or 104th non-Les Paul historic. 2 - historic SG Standard Here's mine, a 2008. Phenomenal guitar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I think he donates blood, plasma and other bodily fluids to the "bank" in town, along with the odd medical study. :-) (That's how I afford all my toys!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brazilianwood Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thank you everybody!!!! I had an SG Starndard in the past but I was into Les Paul sound, so I sold her. 6 years later, now I own 2 les pauls (one 1996 standard and one 2006 R7) and I decided to have an SG. I am really liking it sound, with less sustain and a more "loose and metalic " sound. However I do not use the tremolo. Is it difficult to take off the Whammy bar, and how can I take it off. ( the screw seens to be very tight). thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a full time job... How did you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
