BillyBusic Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi All, Just bought this Les and am confused. Do you think this is a Junior or Special that has the truss cover replaced? S/N is 00660560. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a Les Paul Double Cut Special.. (yes it gets a bit confusing :)).. Often the Juniors only have one pickup.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 . As Rabs indicated. Someone just put a "Studio" TRC on it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It also doesnt help matters when they start making even more confusing model names.. like the new Les Paul Junior Special (even though I do like the look of them :)) http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Junior-Special-P90.aspx http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Junior-Special-Humbucker.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually looking into it, they did seem to make a Double Cut Studio Special lol... just to confuse us more.. Best thing to do is email the serial number to Gibson Customer Service.. They will tell you the model and date it was made :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBusic Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks for the good info. I do believe somone added the "Studio" trc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Aw man. Those DC Specials with P90's were sweet. That's a great guitar. Yea, someone just put the 'Studio' truss rod cover on there. I believe the originals were just black with a small white rim. No biggie. I think it looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the originals were just black with a small white rim. No biggie. I think it looks cool. Its a strange one what they do with the small details on the same models.. I once had two LP DC Special Fadeds. The reason I had two was that I was doing one up that I had bought cheap and came across the last knew one available so bought it just in case I totally mucked the older one up. Anyway, even though they were the same model, one was from 2005 and one was a 2009... And the 2009 has Special on the TRC and the Gibson logo is different. The 2009 one the dot on the i isnt leaninig over, but the 2005 one it is.. I did have a look around the net too and it does seem that there was a DC Studio done at one point.. So its hard to say really.. Either way as you say they are great guitars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBusic Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well, small mystery solved. Gibson says that this is a Les Paul Junior Lite. Mfg in March of 2000, it has P-100 instead of 90's, which is a little disappointing to me as I know what P90's are but haven't heard that many good things on the 100's. It gets here tomorrow, so I guess I'll know soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
