I was wondering if anyone can tell me the thickness of the Maple Cap on a Chambered guitar. I have a 2006 Classic GT, and I owned a 2008 Studio in Fireburst. I did a search but could not find an answer. Also do all the chambered models have the same thickness. Thanks for any help.

I am looking at a Korean made 2000 LP Custom that I think must be a limited edition. It is seems to have a Mahogoany top, and an almost orangy finish. Similar to a Vintage mahogany finish. It is a Custom and I haven't seen one in this color. Thanks in advance for any information.

I have a 1990 ES335 that I know has the stock pickups. I bought it from a good friend who purchased it new. I have measured the pickups and they are 7.11 and 8.79 neck and bridge. I sent an email to Gibson with the description of the guitar and the pickup readings, and they came back with the...

I am looking at a one of these guitars and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. I only have a description that it is faded Black. I know about the regular faded series, and I was wondering if the 3 pickup model was as good. I think they came with a white guard and I...

How does the Reissue Serial numbers system work? For example an R9 with a serial 9 4xxx. Could it be a 94 or a 2004. Everything I can find on the numbering system does not mention a difference after the year 2000. Do the years repeat?

Can someone measure the width of the binding on a 1990 Standard LP. I am having an argument with a friend who thinks he has a 1990 Studio with painted over binding. I told him it was the maple cap, but he says it is binding. It is much thinner than the binding on my 1996 standard. I am pretty...

I have a 2006 Classic Gold top, and I recently found a set of BB1 and BB2 out of a 2007 Historic. I also picked up an RS Vintage kit with the 022 Bumblebees. I had it all installed and I am very happy with the restults. The aged covers look cool, but now I have to match the rest of the...

I am buying a set of pickups and I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the back of the BB1 And BB2, so I can make sure I am getting the real thing. Also pics of the bumblebee caps if possible. Much appreciated in advance.

I purshased an NOS LP Classic GT about a year ago. I play this guitar all the time in my home and I have a climate control system, that keep it at a very nice 70 degrees. I have never had it out in any cold or extremely hot weather. That being said I picked it up the other day and I saw...

A quick question. I can pick up a Zakk Wylde Camo edition Gibby Les Paul from a really motivated seller. The case was apparently damaged while the guitar was not in it, and is no longer with it. (Gig bag). I was wondering if the cases were anything special or just the regular Gibson LP case...

I am looking at a used classic and the fret board is fairly light looking. compared to others I have seen. It had recently been oiled and it is still fairly light. Is there a way to darken the rosewood?

I recently purchased a Standard, and now I would like to add a Goldtop to the collection. I have a couple of questions. Is there a big variation in the gold colors used on them? I have seen them from almost a silvery gold color to a very deep copper. I have seen them with different color...

I searched and I could not find any reference other than using a bathroom scale to weigh my LP. I just purchased a 96 LP Standard and I have an 08 Studio. Obviously the Studio is a lot lighter. What have you guys found is the best way to weigh your guitars. I am not sure that my bathroom...

I am looking at a 1996 LP Standard in Tobacco burst. It is all original and I was wondering what pickups came in them at that time. Thanks for any help.

I recently purchased a brand new Les Paul Studio in Fireburst. I was under the impression that burst guitars come with a pickguard in the box. When I picked it up the tech said that the Fireburst do not come with one. I thought it was optional whether to mount it or not. I have sent an email...
