Nando BluZ Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Can you guys help me to identify a gibson custom shop? I want to know if this gibson is a VOS or not.

Mustache Guitar Repairs Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I had it switched around at first, but if the finish is full gloss and the hardware is not worn at all, it's not a VOS. They scuff the finish and hardware ever so slightly as to dull it a down a little from looking "brand new" on them to give them a lightly aged look. The pickup covers and some of the bridge/stoptail hardware look a little aged, but that isn't enough to determine if it's a VOS or not. It probably won't show up in pictures, but if you look at the finish with good light at the right angle, you should see faint swirl marks in the top of the clear coat (as opposed to a clean mirror-like reflection on a "new" finish). Hope this is some help Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
