Thanks mate, it plays and feels the same as the EGF-850 I once owned, the sound is very similar too! I just love the 59 necks.  |

| Quote: | | ? Urethan-lacquer is not poly exactly but the mix of two, in between urethan and lacquer |
Nice guitar. What i find interesting is that urethane is poly urethane and poly urethane and nitro celluose just don't mix well at all. Actually in the MSDS, it recommends they not be used together at all.
Another point is that poly, acryllic and nitro are all lacquers but use different solvents making some of them impossible to use together, like acryllic and enamel. I would like to know exactly what they are using. I have read that its some different type of finish they refer to as nitro which in fact isn't really nitrocelluose lacquer at all, nothing like the Nitro Gibson and fender used originally, which is true Nitro celluose lacquer.
I have been spraying poly u, acryllic, enamel and a wide range of paints, industrial, automotive and domestic for over 30 years and find this most interesting. I think even the poly finishes they use these days are more than one specific type as i have guitars with poly finishes that look and feel totally different, also the thickness varies greatly as well. There's always something to research.....

Yes, the serial numbering is done as the guitar came off the production line. Does yours have a soft V on the open book headstock or a sharper V? and the serial is it higher or lower than mine, maybe around the same era? |

AFA your info is concerned, then where in the time line would this one (100357) fall in place?
It has the pointed open book V head stock top

Hi, yours looks very much BLS-59V, more Gibson open book headstock , timeline would suggest between 1994 and 1998, my guess would be maybe 1995/6 with that serial?
I have a contact in Deviser, that I am preparing some more questions about, in particular, a possible way of knowing which serial numbers for which years, maybe to much of an ask, but i will try  |

Hi, only slightly higher, I would suggest between 1998 and 1999, I will ask Deviser more about serial numbers, if it is possible to ascertain which serials for which years, a big ask i think, (due to different quantities of different models made), i will post the reply. BTW, Cool Black Beauty! |
