NeoConMan Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 According to Gibson that number makes it a 2008 '58 Les Paul VOS Lemonburst. .....or something vintage built from the 60's or 70's. What's it supposed to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 No problem. You were using an "online dating service" eh? :-) My advice is to use them only for reference, call Gibson if you want a real answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 881418 First 8 stands for - 1958 reissue. Second 8 stands for - 2008. 1418 stands for - the 1,418th 1958 reissue built that year. If you email pictures of the guitar and your serial number to Gibson, they'll tell you the model number. Something like this. LPR9VOWCNH1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattoo Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 thanks for the info tim. i was reading on the gibson site on how to spot a fake,and one of the ways was they said was the logo on the vos was silk screened and not a decal. and on mine the gibson logo looks like a decal but where it says les paul model is silk screened and being the neurotic mess i am ,led me to try and run serial number on some site instead of checking with gib first. and when nothing came up i s@#$t, lol!!! but anyway thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
