mbrooks0711 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hey I am kind of confused. Ran across this one, the owner says it is from either the late 80's or early 90's but it has no serial number. Also the headstock is a different shape (but from reading I understand that at different points, different headstocks were used for special models/elite models, etc). Please shed some light on this for me please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Gibson TRC - mid 90's-ish. Thats all I've got. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrooks0711 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 so sorry Robin, but what is "TRC"? not quite caught up on my acronyms yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Truss Rod Cover. Actually I'd say that's a late '80s Samick build, based on the headstock shape. Possibly the serial number was on a sticker which has since come off or been removed. A rare find, and a good quality guitar. More than likely it has the 15:1 Gotoh tuners too.

mbrooks0711 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh my gosh i feel like an idiot. I knew what TRC meant, it just escaped me for a little bit. Oh man, I don't need to buy this guitar, but it is gorgeous. My wife would kill me, but to quote some advice I received the day I got married "Just remember, its always easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission".

EpiEric Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Those early Epiphone Les Pauls made by Samick are very nice. Are you looking at buying that one? Assuming you like the way it plays, I'd grab it if I were you if the price is reasonable. I'm not sure how long they had the modified open book headstock, but it wasn't long.
