Members destroyed Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 I recently aquired a 2001 and it has gold Gibson hardware. I don't recall ever seeing one with gold. It was traded to me as being all original but it also has gold pick up covers on it. Anyone have anything to offer in the way of info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jdjonsson Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 I don't recall seeing them in gold. The best thing you can do is to email Gibson customer service with the serial number. They'll tell you what they think it is. Ask specifically about the gold hardware, and whether or not it's original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalheadUK Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 My guess is non Standard...I dont think any of the Classic variants came with pickup covers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF currently sells the Classic in ebony finish with gold hardware. Sounds reasonable that in 01' they had some finishes with gold hardware.

Members JorisBlack Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 Some pics could help us... And yeah you could always mail Gibson about it, they should help you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members destroyed Posted November 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 it is a honey burst. All Gibson couls tell me was it was a 2001, they couldn't tell me the model or anything. i am guessing the hardware was just changed with gibson parts. no big deal really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hondro Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 look at small stuff, like screws. If they're gold, then the hardware is original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members destroyed Posted November 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 all the screws are gold too. right down to the ones that hold in the toggle switch cover. this is odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brewski Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Does it sound good? does it play good? Who cares if it's original? If you're not sure replace the hardware, Gold hardware sucks anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
