ledzep59 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have a 1999 Custom Shop '59 reissue. It weighs 9.2lbs last I recall, so I always figured that it was not chambered. How can one tell if a LP is chambered apart from the weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It's not chambered. http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/gibson-les-pauls/50210-gibson-les-paul-101-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 As Are Nine says it's not. But if you ever wanted to know, just tap the top. It's pretty easy to tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uburoibob Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Just pop open the rear panel that houses the volume and tone controls. If it's chambered, you'll see it immediately! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzep59 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 What about the neck tenon? Is the best way to determine long neck tenon by looking into the neck pickup cavity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Rick, that goes for Gibson USA Les Pauls. They've been chambering reissues since '04, I think. If it sounds like **** then it's chambered... just ask Are Nine No, no...if it sounds like crap its swiss cheesed. Get it right!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 What about the neck tenon? Is the best way to determine long neck tenon by looking into the neck pickup cavity? Yes but you have an R9 - long neck tenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzep59 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yes but you have an R9 - long neck tenon. I know that my R9 has it from research not from experience. I have taken off the pups and looked at the cavity under them, but not to look for the tenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
