shredhed Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hello, I joined a few days ago and was waiting until my guitar arrived to post. But some questions have arisen since then. So, what Im trying to find out is information on the Les Paul Studios made in '94. I won one on ebay a couple days ago and when I posted it on another forum a member pointed out that it looked like an ebony board. I've been told that by '94 they were rosewood. But I'm wondering if maybe it was a special run with ebony and maybe even a thicker body. I've searched about the Centennial Models, but this one isn't called that. It doesn't have the Orville Gibson coin on it, nor can I tell if the Studio was included in the "Centennial" line. I'm just trying to find the specifics about it. In '94 the serials started with 94 and then 6 digits It's wine red. Does that model have a maple top? Sure looks like ebony to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSixx Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I don't know about '94, currently Gibson offers the Classic White Studio with an ebony board. So it's not in possible. Try calling Gibson 1-800-4-Gibson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 In '94 the serials started with 94 and then 6 digits? Really? I though they followed the same format as they do now... 8 digits instead of 9, I know. I'd be surprised if that top wasn't maple...but with Gibson, you never know. Gibson doesn't even know what they did in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckledzepplin Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 if it is ebony your are one lucky bastard! most likely it is really tight grained rosewood, i used to have a epi lester that had what looked like a ebony fretbord but it was rosewood with tight grains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
