1997 Gibson Les Paul Custom

When this guitar arrived at my doorstep, I was thrilled beyond words. I mean, this was the very first Les Paul Custom I'd ever worked on. Out of curiosity, I took a few pics and emailed them to Gibson Customer Service. Within 24 hours (bravo GCS), they replied that the "pictures and serial number" were "consistent with a Les Paul Custom model in Ebony finish, made on the 202nd day of 1997 in Nashville, TN." So, what I had in my hands was the real deal, and not a well-made knockoff. Besides the obvious, I've managed to ascertain a number of specs, thanks to the Gibson Guitar Board.
