acrabeth Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi, i have a Les Paul Standard, it says on the rod cover and on the back of the neck it says "Custom Shop Edition" does that mean it is an LP custom? Custom/standard. and no idea what year it is. any help would be appreciated the serial is 91103392. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 It's a 1993 (Google Gibson serial numbers) Custom Shop Standard. Custom Shop is a division within Gibson that makes higher quality instruments. This is what a Les Paul Custom looks like. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-Custom/Les-Paul-Custom.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrabeth Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Here are some fotos. As it turns out, this was "paid" to me in lieu of a few months rent. I'm trying to figure out now what would be a good price for this guitar. It doesn't have any big dings. a couple near the bridge and one on the back. i would say its in "very good" condition. what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angellus Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 :o all i can say is wow, I have never been one to comment on peoples guitar finishes and maple tops because its a kind of seen it all before thing but dude that is one sexy dark les paul. if I was not left handed I would start negotiating a price now im not too current with resale prices so I will not comment. only negative thing i have is the control cavity plates, it may just be the angle of the photos but they look askew. Either they are on the wrong way round, they are not the originals or custom shop did a bad job either way I wouldnt care if she had a pimple on her butt!

Angellus Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA April 20th, 1993 Production Number: 92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrabeth Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hey Angellus, thanks man, too kind :D it seems the plates are on the right side, but it does look like the fit is not so great, maybe they are replacements. as you said there are worse places to have a bad fit, jeje. Thanks for that last bit of info too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorlinFan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 That is an awesome guitar! I have no idea of the value of Custom Shops such as that. I think you will get a variety of different prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angellus Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 if i was right handed i'd bite your hand off! i'm not too keen on my SG, i'm definately a les paul player. Two very different guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrabeth Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 if i was right handed i'd bite your hand off! i'm not too keen on my SG, i'm definately a les paul player. Two very different guitars jejejeje, lol. my first electric (and only for like 10years) was an SG, two different animals there never was. i inherited my LesPaul, which i love, but i rarely play standing up, and to play sitting is well, not the best. jaa, too bad we cannot trade hmm.
