But one question remains.... is there any HP which confirm the 2013 spec on the 2013 CC#6??

Weird, so I wonder if they changed the pickup specs in the 2013 CC6.

I'm going by this from the Gibson site as I have not peeked at mine yet.I will report when I do.

To complete the sonic accuracy of Collector's Choice™ #6 1959 Les Paul #9-1918, Gibson Custom carefully measured the pickups in Mike Slubowski's original guitar and recreated a set of Custom Buckers wound to precisely the same specs. Details include Alnico III magnets and 42 AWG enamel-coated wire wound around distinctive "zebra coil" bobbins, which are hidden by gently aged nickel-plated covers.

Glad you like it! :jim

Mike,
If the copy of your guitar sounds,feels and looks as great as they do I would someday like to check out the original as it must be awesome.

After spending some time with it.I gotta say it has it in spades and if I could only have one guitar this would be the one.

... sources who know the original guitar well informed me that 9-1918 has double blacks

I peeked under my hood today and double black it is.

I peeked under my hood today and double black it is.

... and that's the way it's supposed to be (according to Mike)! Congrats! Any soundbytes or videos?

not that I am claiming to have full knowledge, but I have been trying to keep track of CC#6 offerings and shipments:

The Music Zoo, call 516-626-9292
http://www.themusiczoo.com/product/...d-Electric-Guitar-Non-Filtered-Tobacco-Burst/

Music Zoo has had this guitar (SN 006) on their site for a while. Definitely a first run, 2012 guitar!

Guitar Center, call 866-498-7882
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-...es-Paul-Electric-Guitar-108437484-i2769580.gc

This is SN 129. I have seen serial numbers as high as 181 being going to Europe in 2012, so if I were to venture a guess I would say that this is 2012 as well.

eBay, call 866-540-3229
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gibson-Coll...9-/171076478610?pt=Guitar&hash=item27d4f3e692

This guitar, SN 055 was originally offered by Rainbow Guitars, and is likely to be 2012 as well.


In other words, IF there is such a thing as a 2013-spec CC#6 then it's likely that these guitars have serial number > 181.

I would love to hear from anyone who owns or has identified a CC#6 with such a high serial number.



Werner

 

[poon99]

I know of 187 and 190 made n 2013.

 

[wernerg]
