Get the guaranteed best price on Solid Body Electric Guitars like the Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Figured Maple Top with Gold Hardware Electric Guitar. One more piece of a collection im letting go. Up for sale is a 15 year old gibson les paul classic 1960 reissue. It mainly was bought only for collection of a classic. But, as you already know, with a PAF-routed ('57-style) Les Paul Custom re-issue the serial should start with a 7. That style of numbering was used on the 1960 Classic range and that number would fit in with a guitar built in 1995 but I've never yet heard of a faded Mahogany Custom-spec'd '1960 Classic'.

I've got myself in the 2nd hand market a Gibson Les Paul, serial no. Garmin Ique 3600 Driver Windows 7. It looks exactly like this one: and this one: Ok so here's the thing. The serial for a 57 reissue SHOULD start with a 7 (which indicate it's a 57 resissue according to the bluebook)instead of mine which starts with a 5.

Is there any possibility that it's a fake guitar or it's using another unknown serial idenification method. It came with a pair of EMG and a brown case, which only make things more complicated as I guess they are not original. Please advise! I'm happy to provide more picstures if needed. Thank you so much!

Can't help you much. The case is fine.

It's a regular brown / pink lined Lifton-style re-issue case. But, as you already know, with a PAF-routed ('57-style) Les Paul Custom re-issue the serial should start with a 7. That style of numbering was used on the 1960 Classic range and that number would fit in with a guitar built in 1995 but I've never yet heard of a faded Mahogany Custom-spec'd '1960 Classic'. Could you let us know what period the pots are from? At least that might help us date the instrument. Assuming they weren't swapped at the p'up change.

The guitar came with a pair of EMG active pickups, and the pots are non-original 25K pots. They sounds VERY dark with regular magnetic passive pickups. I traded a PRS McCarty for it years ago. Back then I was a ZW fan and wanted a Les Paul Custom with EMGs. I didn't bother its authenticity as long as it sounded right for me, until recently I need to cash it in for my GAS in a Nash tele and a EJ strat. FYI, it is stupidly heavy (solid, non-chambered). Has Gorver tuners and gold hardwares.
