bluesguitar65 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I purchased an NOS 2006 from a very reputable Los Angels Vintage Guitar shop yesterday and got everything that came with the guitar, but no COA. I asked about it and sales person stated that 2006 customs did not come with certificate of authentic. I was surprised I thought all custom shop guitars including the Les Paul Customs include such document. I believe even the 2005 Les Paul customs comes with one, but why not the 2006?

bluesguitar65 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Dealers loose COAs all the time. That is what I though also and I called Gibson Customer Service if they can provide me a duplicate for this guitar and they said that the 2006 Customs do not come with COAs. Why?

PP_CS336 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 That is what I though also and I called Gibson Customer Service if they can provide me a duplicate for this guitar and they said that the 2006 Customs do not come with COAs. Why? If it did, it should have been in the pocket of the case that came with the guitar, as that's what my 2008 CS-336 had. On the case there was a label that read, "The Certificate of Authenticity for this instrument is enclosed in the pocket of the case." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 ^ no, they had 8 1/2 x 11 inch COAs before 2008. There's no way it would fit in that little compartment. LP Customs became Custom Shop guitars in 2004. I figured the '04s and newer would all have COAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R9, if that's the case (no pun intended) then you are correct, as the COA I received with my 2008 CS-336 is a 5" x 6.5" size booklet that fits easily into my case's pocket.

Flight959 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The COA changed size sometime in 2007. I have both types of COA from this year. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
