flameburst Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Here's my Brazilian 1960. (R0) 2003. s/n: 0 3007: Shown with vintage original parts (except p/ups, rings and pickguard). I have since changed the reflector knobs to 1950's 'bonnet' knobs. This is the one I can rely on to do a good gig. flameburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Ok, I'm only asking because I don't know, but are we talking fretboards, or tops? I.E., instead of maple, their rosewood? 'Cuz all the guitars pictured here are gorgeous, my humble goldtop pales in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCollector Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 The fretboards are verified, by Gibson, as Brazilian Rosewood. The tops are made of Maple. I could see how it gets confusing if your baby is a Goldie! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ok, one more question, I thought all their guitars had brazi-boards? I'm just askin' cuz I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Welp, that pretty much summed up what I was asking. That's something goes on Historic, and Custom Shop stuff...out of curiosity, where does it come from on regular production guitars like my goldtop, it's not a big deal, just curious is all. Thanks for that info Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Brazilian rosewood has not been used on any regular production Gibson solidbodies since the '60s or '70s. the info you looked at regarding CS models is the most recent use of BR and was only done on the Custom Shop models listed.

LesPaul117 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 do the original 58's-60's have brazillian rosewood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavum Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 SN 73312 The same serial number as the original '57 that Duane Allman owned and played on Clapton's Layla sessions and early Allman Brothers gigs (and possibly recordings). Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Wouldn't the same serial # mean it's the same instrument? I'm confused. Are you saying Gibson made more than one guitar with the same serial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delawaregold Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Wouldn't the same serial # mean it's the same instrument? I'm confused. Are you saying Gibson made more than one guitar with the same serial? Due to the way the serial numbers are structured for the Reissues' date=' the serial number will repeat itself every ten years. For instance, lets look at S/N 9 3001 9 = The year the guitar is meant to represent. 9 for 1959. All R9’s start with 9. 3 = The year the guitar is manufactured. 1993, 2003 and 2013 would all have a 3. 001 = The number of the guitar issued in order as it is made, starting with 001 through 999. If there are more than 999 guitars of that model made in a given year, an extra digit is added, and the S/N would look like this: 931000.[/b'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
