Hi, Chester--

A little background: (From the Blue Book)

"During 1994, Gibson began offering the electric Centennial series models to celebrate Gibson´s 100-year anniversary (1894 to 1994). There were 12 models in the program - and were released at the rate of one new model per month. No more than 101 instruments of each model were produced. Gibson´s plan was to have 100 dealers that year, with each one committed to a package of 12 guitars. Those dealers received a custom made oakand glass humidfied display cabinet at no charge to display each new model."

"All Centennial models feature gold-plated hardware, gold control knobs with raised Centennial logo, a diamond dot over the "i" in the Gibson logo, serial number on tailpiece with numeral ´1´ in diamonds, medallion on the back of peghead with the image of Orville Gibson, an engraved 100th Anniversary banner inlay on the 12th fret, and a Centennial logo on the pickguard. Centennial models came with a black leather-covered case, a gold signet ring with Centennial logo, and a framed 16 x 20 photograph. The Centennial Series was discontinued in 1999."
