Those too are great but they typically trade for far less than their Historic brethren. But you certainly don't want to overpay for the CS guitars. On the up side they are all great guitars.

The '15 production of '14 serial numbers led to R9s in the 944XXX range.ĭefinitely confusing and a real cluster f*ck to sort through. So Gibson just continued to produce Rs with '14 serial numbers for most of '15. '14 is an exception as the short tenon CS guitars released in '15 flopped and dealers wanted the older '14 spec R models. Usually the number per reissue year (R9s, R8s, etc.) My '15 Custom BB is 7 00XX for example.Īll Historics were numbered this way in the past with the exception that Gibson had more 6 digit 9XXXXX numbers than 9 XXXX numbers in any given year due to the number of guitars made.

The TH spec guitars in 20 got the 50s style 5 digit serial number as such:ĩ XXXX for a '59 reissue. R9 (or 7, 8, 0,) are 2016s and were denoted with an R in front of the 'year' being reissued to denote that they were not TH spec. Other Gibson models with a CS prefix can have several spec anomalies and differences and some CS guitars have all the historic specs but with a major non historic spec like quilted tops or metallic paint job's. Can someone clear this up for me?ĬS9 (or 7, 8, 0) are '15s and have the Gibson Custom Shop short tenon which is not the Gibson USA tenon. And to make things more difficult, I have seen pictures of guitars that have the specs to be reissues, but instead they come with a "CS" serial and the "Gibson Custom Shop" logo. Why do some CS guitars have a reissue serial number, even though they are not, or at least not sold as reissues? For example, the 2017 black customs (Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Flying V and Firebird) all have reissue serials even though the specs are really off (the SG is missing the middle pickup and maestro, the Firebird has humbuckers, they all have a Richlite fretboard.

What is the difference between, for example, "R9", "CS9" and even "HS9" serial number guitars? Aren´t they the same spec wise, and if they are, why is the serial number different? I´m confused.

I have learned a lot over the years on this forum.

We have opened a discussion thread in the Pub section discussing this. We will include a very detailed password checklist.Hi! First of all, I would like to thank all the members of this forum for sharing their knowledge. We want to highly recommend that members turn on and use TGP's two-factor authentication option. We highly recommend every member reading this change their passwords as a precaution. We have forced email revalidation for all members that have not signed on for a while. None of the accounts compromised were using two-factor authentication. Talking to one member as I am working through getting his account back in order, he informed me that his Apple password manager had been compromised and made available on the dark web. In today's world, that is false confidence you can no longer afford.Įvery account that I've restored so far to the original owner was using compromised passwords.

Most evidence requires dot connecting and reading between the lines. It is heartbreaking to see that the lure of saving some money will still fool people into using those methods to save a few dollars. How do you read a Gibson Custom Shop serial number There should be a space after the 1st digit with the 4 and 5 digit serial numbers, and no space with the 6 digit numbers. Serial Number is required for product registration. Unfortunately, we cannot control how members do deals. However, the best way to prevent this is for members to exercise proper password hygiene (which I'll detail below), turn on two-factor authentication, and - I implore every single person here - only use payment methods that have buyer protection. We've made security changes that I don't want to detail here to stop them. They have scammed members in the Emporiums by creating ads with stolen photos and requesting Paypal F&F or Venmo exclusively for payment. Some fraudsters have compromised TGP accounts have in the past few days.
