not familiar with that serial number , could be a special model , i would call gibson , they have a toll free number on their site .. maybe they can help you ..

I have gibson sg with serial number 121217 and there is the "made in usa" sign also, onthe back of the headstock. So, that is 1963 Gibson, right? Because the man who sold it to me said that is 1971 Gibson. Guitar has a switch to split neck humbucker. Unusual, isn't it? Please help.

the serial number indicates that it was made in the early 70s , the man who sold it to you is probably right .

Hi, I have a Gibson guitar with the serial number 93157345 it does say Gibson SG Deluxe. Do you now the year and are you familiar with that guitar, is it a SG Special or Deluxe? Thank you for your comments. Regards from Munich, Selma

the serial number you gave indicates that it was made in 1997 .. if it says sg deluxe its an sg deluxe . These guitars were discontinued in 1999 ... a 1997 sg deluxe is valued at $900 to $1100 ( all original presuming its in good condition )

Hi, I've been trying to get a appraisal on my vintage guitar. All it says is Gibson, but the serial number is 357638. I haven't had any luck with this number because now use 8 digits now instead of 6. Any comments would be great, thanks.

according to your serial # , if you have "MADE IN U.S.A." stamped below the serial number it was made in 1974-75 . if you theres no "MADE IN U.S.A." below the serial number it was made in 1965 .

I have a single pickup cream colored Thunder bird bass. The serial number is 81896602 - made in the USA below it. Above it, it hase a Custom Shop Edition logo on it. It has stress cracks in the paint, over all condition is good. It was altered for a pick up. Someone added three small switches. They are not working as the original pick was put back in. Could you tell me the approx. value of this bass? I am interested in buying it.

Many thanks,
A

I have a Les Paul standard black electric guitar that I won in 1998 in a Coors Beer Sweepstakes. I believe there were about 5 winners total.(Not sure on this) The serial number on the neck is 92458396. I want to sell this guitar but know nothing about value - or about guitars! I have kept it in the soft case it came in since I won it- so it is unused and untouched.I also have the original guitar box that it was directly delivered to me from Gibson in. It also came with a extra truss rod cover engraved with the words "original Coors"- which I could replace with the one that was sent on the guitar if I so choose.I did not do this but kept the extra truss rod cover for who ever I sold the guitar to. Can you give me some information about my guitar and if I were to sell on Ebay how much it should go for? Would I be wise to hold on to it longer and would the value increase over time? Thanks so much! JD

Hi Guys
I Have an Epiphone "335" which I love - I had some seth lovers put in it and it is just great. The serial number starts 1980... I thought they all started with the factory id etc
can anyone shed any light. It also has "Gibson" in a little plate just above the nut

thanks in advance

ok i have a gibson L5 #99406 I know the age but what stumps me and many others is that this has electric pickup. what i have read is that a 1946 l5 didnt have electric pickups but there is all most no way anyone could have put them on aftermarket the way they r on there. they have orignial gibson knobs and it look to be a set of pickups gibson put on their guitars from the factory so im just stumped any help would be cool thanks

I have a gibson rd model les paul with active electronics and a moog board in it. the sn# is 83352015 with no made in usa sign below it or above it. It has a bolt on neck, ebony finish, bright switch (toggle), and I was wondering what day of what month it was made? I know it was made in 1982 but that is all I know. I think it was the 15th instrument stamped that day but as far as the day and month go i am clueless. Can you help me?

I recently found a gibson sg for sale for $400 with the serial number 03433435. It seems like a sceaming deal. With your resources I found that its probably a 1967 but I'm not sure what series. Any help?

I saw in a shop a used Gibson SG made in USA with serial number 01584420 printed in the wood, according to the guide it would have been made in 2004, it may be a weird question but, is that a good year for a Gibson SG?
thank you

Hi, nice to be here. I bought a Gibson Les Paul Custom 1979 (Silverburst). Then I realized that it has no "made in USA" stamp on below its serial number. The serial number is #70169571. I have read that some products don't have this stamp because it is forgotten while being manufactured. I checked all body-shape, the electronics and pick-ups and they look original. But I am worried that the guitar might be fake due to the missing stamp. I would be grateful if any one knows anything about this and inform me about that. Thanks a lot

if your truss rod cover has 2 screws its a very good chance that its a real gibson , most fake gibson guitars have 3 screws on the truss rod cover ..

I've got a Cherryburst Les Paul that has "1960" inscribed on the pickguard along with "Les Paul Model" and "Classic" on the head.

The serial number is S 0171.

I was told it was a '93 reissue of a '60.

Can anyone tell me the particulars of this guitar by chance?

Thanks

Sorry, the above serial number should be 3 0171 and not S 0171 as I have it.

Thanks

Hi folks -- I've got a 1974 Les Paul Standard with two serial numbers! One number is slightly under the "new" number, which has deeper indentations and is clearer than the other one, which looks like it's filled in with lacquer. The guitar is totally original from the factory. Can anyone explain this? My guess is it was repaired at the factory and given a new number. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks!

thanks

I have a friend asking $1200 for a 1970s SG in cherry, with a bigsby and coil tapped pickups. My question is should I get him to lower the price because of the modifications?

Thanks Dave

I have a Gibson Electric Guitar with Serial # 962539 - dark brown solid wood.

Thanks,
Mary

Also, it is engraved with Made in the USA

Hate to bother you, but checked the Gibson serial number page, and am confused. I have a Gibson B25 3/4, and am trying to find out what year it was made. Its a Sunburst color, but cant find anything on the site that tells me for sure. The number in the headstock is 901459. BUT, there is the number "2" that is stamped right above and in between the "1" and the "4" in the stock as well. I cant find anything about that type numbering system on the Gibson site. There is no "made in the USA" stamp on it, so according to GIbson, it was made before 1970, yet the 901459 seems to say it was made in 1970!
So needless to say, I am confused! Any help would be appreciated.

The additional 2 indicates it's a factory second. Once completed they inspect the instruments for any flaws. Often, as is the case with my Martin, you are hard pressed to find what the flaw is. But these inspectors have strict guidelines to follow and look for things the rest of us wouldn't think to. Once any flaw is found they stamp the additional 2 into the tip of the headstock. Don't let this prevent you from enjoying the instrument to the fullest. It can be something very tiny in the finish, for instance, that caused the 2 stamp. This is often referred to a B stock as well. In the case of my Martin, in 25 years of ownership I still can't tell you why it's a 2nd. But it's still a great guitar. Sadly, I can't help with the serial number ID.

Hello,

I cannot make out the 1st number or letter, but it is ink stamped like this ? 25 12 N is '64 correct? Any guess on approximate value?

I have inherited a beautiful old Gibson solidbody electric that I am trying to correctly identify. The serial number is 900825. There is no "made in usa" stamp. It is shaped like an SG (two horns), but my father always swore it was known first as a Les Paul Custom--before the standard Custom body shape we know today (rounded upper horn). Dual pickups, 3-pos. pickup selector w/"rhythm" & "treble," 2 vol. knobs, 2 tone knobs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I have a Gibson ES335TD model # 122320. I looked up the model number and found it was manufactured in 1963. It belongs to my Father-in-law and he is near the end of his life. When he passes away we will need to sell it so there will be no disputes in the family over who got it. I need to take it into someone for some polishing up. It's been in the case for years and one of the string turn keys broke off. Otherwise it's a beautiful guitar. debi_mercer@verizon.net

I recently purchased a Gibson ES-150. It is acoustic/electric and the electric works. The serial number is Y4748 18. I believe that means the instrument was made in 1953. The info inside the case says it was made in Kalamazoo, Mich. It is in fairly excellent condition. The tuning knobs are all gone but the posts are still there. It needs to be cleaned. It has a beautiful tone. Strings are good. No cracks or scratches. There is minor wear on the upper neck board from being played. Also the back shows some wear from being played. I call it lovin'. It is in a nice hard case but the hinges are broken and there is a surface torn spot on one edge. Looks like maybe it was caught is a tight spot or something. Is there any real value to this instrument and would it be worth putting on new tuning knobs and fixing the case?

My friend has a Gibson Les paul Gold top. Serial Number (7 5718)Inked! It has the body of a 56 gold top but if I'm correct the serial Number says it was made in 57... does not make any sence..

Hello. I stumbled across a Gibson SG series with SN#001675. I researched and found that this guitar was manufactured in 1967. The condition is poor (nicks & scratches, missing tuning keys). I'm curious if there is any value, as is, or is there someone I can contact that can provide me with a list of original parts so that I can restore? My email is frankking72@yahoo.com. Thank you.

The thing I don't understand is that it has a faint 8 digit serial # and a faint made in usa on the back of the headstock. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Rob

I inherited this guitar from my grandfather, he told me all about the story of having to put his name on a list after world war II. If i remember correct he said it was a 1947 Gibson, but i am struggling to figure much out. He painted it a few times but told me he used a specific kind that would be able to be removed w/ the right liquid. Can anyone help me figure out w/ it is? On the inside it has written 83162. Thanks!

Hi,

My Super 400 CES got a weird serial number, that says : 06121/374507. It is pencil written on an oval shaped white label glued on the inside back, under the upper F-hole. Can't find any info after intense research on the Internet, Blue Books, etc. Other features of th guitar is 2 humbuckers and a natural finish. As it was highly modified by previous owner(s) (neck replaced, I guess, plus a Bigsby vibrato installed), I have nothing more to rely on to precisely identify the year. Any clue someone ? I'd greatly appreciate any piece of info regarding the year/model/estimated value, etc.

Just in case, you can mail me at : xx.xanadu.xx@gmail.com

Thanks for your time.

Tom

I have a SG custom electric guitar. It's number is 563193, the gold is worn etc but it's in good shape. What year is it and what would one expect it to be worth? I bought it second hand and have had it since 1980. The case is still ok, a few hard knocks but still functional.

I have a Gibson blond solid body serial #394820 MADE IN U.S.A. stamped on the back of the head. The 2 pickups have no screw heads(smooth) and swivel. It shaped like a Les Paul with one bottom cut.

I have an old gibson w/ the serial number 929530 I would love to know the year it was made and how much it is worth. Thanks so much, Lisa B.

According my the serial number of my les paul (stamped 121267 w/ Made is USA stamped also) it was made around 1970-1972. The question I have is that above the serial number, the number "2" is also stamped. I am wondering what this means. It's a heritage cherry sunburst color. Just like Jimmy pages from Song Remains the Same.

Lisa.....Your guitar was made at the
Kalamazoo or Nashville Plant , USA
approximately in: 1970, 1971 or 1972

Here's a stumper. I have an early 1960's les paul Jr. But, it has been refinished so the serial number is gone. I can tell you that it was made in USA, was a cherry color, has a single p-90 pickup, what seems like the original hardcase, and is a double cutaway. Any ideas? I have been researching, and my dad (who refinished it in the 70's) thought it was a 1967, but mny research is coming up that they didn't make the les paul junior double cutaway in 1967.

Can anyone help... ? I have a Gibson Thunderbird 4 strings and the serial number is 92490704 and made in USA. Can anyone tell me anything they may know about this and maybe how much it may be worth?
