Hello. Recently I acquired Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty 57 from 1993 with some poor fretwork but outstanding sound.
I highlighted this problem TGP and Gibson forum. You can check it here, nothing interesting...
Meanwhile, I wrote Gibson support to find out the specification and the history of that guitar with all photos of the guitar attached. Literally, all information that they have....
Cmon Gibson. The serial number is 34720, which is prehistoric from 1993 with a SHORT tenon. Unfortunately, I didn't make a photo of the pickup cavity, but it looks far from how long tenon supposed to look.
So I am curious
1. I thought that Gibson has more data on guitars from 90s. Not names of the makers but still something more interesting. I can find more info just googling...
2. Can they have false information? I never heard of 1993 with an inked serial number that starts from 3 with LONG tenon neck.
Some photos. Interesting if you can spot the problem with fretboard (FYI : Pickups replaced with Kloppmann set HB57) thank you

Hi Mr. XXX,
The serial number and pictures refer to a guitar LP Custom Black Beauty 57 in Ebony finish, gold hardware, made in 1993 as part of the Historic Collection. This guitar should have a pair of covered 57 Classic pickups and long tenon. Hope it helps.
Best regards,
