Not sure of the exact model on the strat, but that looks to be an early '70s Les Paul Custom.

Could the Strat be a 95 Anniversary model?

I hate seeing that on the back of a headstock, nothing worse than extra screw holes on a guitar!

+1 i hate that too!

thanks ayrton! i thought so too, i wonder how much it cost these days hahaha

btw funk, when i check the back of the headstock, there were a sticker saying its a 60 anniversary. but when i check on the website, they dont have this color, not with matching headstock at least

I'll just jump in to confirm that it looks like one of the Strat Anniv models from 95, I'm not sure about the LP Custom though. I had a 1976 and there were more numbers in the serial number. If I remember right there were 8 digits. If you check Gibsons website they have the serial number info there that might help to date the guitar

I am far from a Gibson "guru", but '70 thru '73 had the shorter serial and the later had the 8 digit...

I in no way guaranty the accuracy of my post. Please check it with someone who knows Gibson better than me.

There was also a point when the binding on the Customs changed from creme to white (or vice versa, I'm not sure) for a period, so that might help narrow it down. I'll have to ask my dad on that one though.
