StijnV Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The Custom Shop and Gibson USA use (d) Rosewood predominantly from Madagascar, but not necessarily. Brazilian Rosewood was used as the material for the fingerboard on some Historic models, the first half of 2003. It was used in fact on Historic models in January 2003-May 31, 2003. The Brazilian variety is a different species, and is denser than the Madagascar variety. The last serial numbers that used BR, are listed below. No 6 digit serial numbers have BR. 1954 LP (including Oxblood models): 4 3150 1956 LP: 6 3148 1957 LP: 7 3707 1958 LP: 8 3256 1959 LP: 9 3674 1960 LP: 0 3163 Gary Rossington SG: 13075 LPR0PTKBNH1, LP 60 Plain Top, Guitar Center Exclusive: These DO NOT have BR even if serial number seems to match above scheme.
