Angellus Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 ahhh thats an easy one a 1960's VOS Reissue Ebony Les Paul Custom. However i'd ask for a few mods like the first fret marker removed Nickel hardware and my choice of electronics weighing approx 9.5lbs with no weight relief and certainly no chambering. because it would be a reissue i'd have a long neck tennon ABR-1 bridge drilled directly into the maple cap without bushings and transparent black cavity covers.

charlie brown Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 All my LP's are my "favorites," or...I wouldn't have purchased, and hung on to them, all these years. I do go through phases, where I play one, more than the others, but...I get around to them all, when their "phase," hits. (Smile) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitefly Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 For me its got to be a 59 reissue and since I like flame tops it would have to be in killer quilt. Although, one thing I haven't worked out so far, is what is the difference between a VOS and a reissue. I know what the acronym stands for but still not sure of the difference.

Angellus Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Angellus, all ABRs don't have bushings and there is no maple cap on a '60 Custom. no maple cap.....ahhh do the modern customs have maple or is that why the customs mainly come in ebony and alpine white? I know the original ABR-1's were direct into the wood, i've been contemplating putting a Callaham ABR-1 on my traditional, is the Nashville conversion using the callaham studs worth it (authentic to original ABR-1) in your oppinion? from the picture i am unsure if the conversion studs are basically another bushing or if the post is one piece of metal with the stud?

Although, one thing I haven't worked out so far, is what is the difference between a VOS and a reissue. I know what the acronym stands for but still not sure of the difference. The VOS process is only used on re-issues. Re-issues can be either high gloss or VOS. It is a dulling process used by Gibson in order to make the instrument appear older than it really is - as opposed to the 'brand-new' look of the hi-gloss instruments. P.
