tspoon5150 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I am trying to have a 2001 R9 Historic Les Paul serial number verified for Brazilian Fretboard. The guitar is within the Serial Number range and have contacted Daryl Mosley at Gibson Customer Service. Daryl replied back and said, it is my understanding that the only year that Gibson used Brazilian for Reissues was in early 2003. Is there any one else at Gibson that could help me, the thread at the top clearly shows that Brazilian was used on 38 guitars in 2001. My guitar is number 9 1229. Seems people at Gibson should have some one that could be in a position that would know a little about these Historic's, rather than guess and not know.

Tim Plains Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 "it is my understanding" just means "I don't know." Perhaps you should refer Daryl to the Brazilian Rosewood Quantities 2001-2003 thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, seems he does not want to discuss it any further........Maybe it is time to start going up the ladder........I bet Pat Foley or Edwin Wilson would know....... Maybe the Fish and Wild Turkey federation is watching and he is scary to mention anything about the 2001 run........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCollector Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi Tommy! Your guitar is clearly within the verified range for 2001. I'm unclear on what it is you are wanting or trying to do? As a potential buyer of this type of guitar, as long as the font used for the serial number checked out, and there were no other signs of re-fin, or any sort of falsification present......I would buy it without anything further. ~Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
