w66 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hi, I recently bought my Gibson LP 57' Custom VOS. On the COA I can understand what the LPB- stands for on the Model number section, but what does the 7 that follows it stand for? Also, I have noticed people refering to there guitar as a R7, R8,R9, etc what does this stand for, and what would that make my guitar? it was made in 07' if that makes a differance. Pardon my ignorance, but its my first Gibson. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 LP Custom Reissues are sometimes referred to as "black beautys". that's what the "B" indicates. "R" is often used to indicate "Reissue" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
