sirwagunther Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hello, I'm totally new here, and am just trying to figure out a serial number on a Les Paul Classic - it is 7 2590 . Does anyone know what year, place of manufacture, etc. this guitar might be from? I have searched the internet, but have been unable to come up with a definitive answer, so I thought I would try here. Any help you can offer is appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 It's a 1997 model and the 2590th '1960 Classic' produced that year. The digit(s) which come before the gap denote build-year. 1997 = 7 xxxx; 2007 = 07 xxxx etc...etc... Unless it has the Custom Shop logo on the rear of the neck/headstock area it was built on the regular pruduction floor at Nashville. I don't know what finish it is (obviously) but if you are in any doubt there will be a code-stamp in one of the p-up cavities; usually the neck one. If it has a fancier top - 'Plus' or 'Premium-Plus' - this is usually noted in the bridge p-up cavity. Somewhat like this, in fact; 'Honey-Burst' 'Les Paul Premium-Plus' Hope that helps. Pics, please!
