whj Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 QUESTION FOR ALL... ADMIN...? Got a GC LP CS 60's VOS. Ser No. is G08119. I don't know the date of the guitar... could be an 07. Fret board is very unusual, could it be Brazilian based on the serial? Don't have pics...yet. Thanks, Whj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 No Brazilian. They stopped that in 2003. You have a 2008 plaintop '60 referred to as a G0 that you can only buy at Guitar Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whj Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Thanks for the info R9. Cool pic of your gear. Is the SG bowing down to all those LP's?:) Last thoughs... In 2003, did the R buyers know they were getting braz? Of course not. Didn't the R 03's find out later on what they did or did not have? I believe so. The $64 question is: In 0X, couldn't this happen again? Who can tell? Got some pics and discussion of a Fender CS 60's TM in the CS forum (see url) Subj, Brazilian Board. http://www.fender.com/community/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39886 Thoughts? v/r, whj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 No, the couch wasn't big enough to stand them all up. They were advertised as having Brazilian rosewood, yes. I've seen ads that showed it. Now, whether or not every single person who bought one knew is beyond me. I'm sure most did, though, as it was a selling feature. It wasn't just the '03s that had Brazilian. This is the list of what's know and it's straight from Gibson. http://forums.gibson.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=282 $64 question: no, it can't. Gibson, the company, stated they would not use Brazilian again. People always claim that limited numbers sneak out from time to time or that Gibson has been using it secretly but it's all BS because those people can't prove it. It's like they're the conspiracy theorists of the Gibson world. The simple fact is - your guitar only has Brazilian rosewood if Gibson says it does. Give them a call or send them an email - you'll probably get the exact same answer I gave you. Nobody can look at a picture of a fretboard and say with any certainty that it's Brazilian rosewood. The picture below is all Brazilian rosewood. Can you honestly say Brazilian rosewood looks like something in particular after seeing this pic?

Riffster Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hey whj there are hundreds of people out there that think their recent model LP has a Brazilian board when there is no reason to believe that or prove it for all that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
