    Wow, the reissue John posted has had a lot of parts changed on it and he still got $3000 for it!
    It's been refretted, the tuners changed, new wiring and pots/caps, bridge pickup is changed, tail piece and bridge is changed, new nut......
    George, if your's is all original you should ask more for your's.

    Hi George -

    Your guitar is part of the Gibson Historic line. The serial number indicates that it is a 1954 Historic reissue, built in 1999, and the 64th built. I own three historic Les Pauls ( '56, '57 Custom, and '58) and the numbering scheme is the same for those. The '54 Custom reissues were produced both with and without Bigsbys at the factory. Those produced with the Bigsby are generally considered the more "Deluxe" variants. That said, not everybody likes a Bigsby.

    The good folks at Gibson customer service will probably verify all this for you. I've had good luck getting them to respond to questions. It generally takes a couple days, but they'll return your email.
    Sharp solves all manner of problems.
