John	Re: Gibson Les Paul custom from 1982 Hi I sent e-mail and pictures to Gibson and they send me some more info. Hi, The writing SM in the truss rod cavity could mean silver metal. That explains the chrome hardware. The tuners look original. Because we do not make that kind anymore they became highly collector items. The rest of the hardware is probably original. Serial number means that your guitar is number 49 out of only 50 customs, made with chrome hardware back in 1982. Thanks again.
