Info please:
We got a Gibson Explorer with the Serial # of
9:63:793 stamped into the back of the head (yes they def look like semi colons in the number)
it also says Made in the USA
Any info/age would be greatly appreciated?? I think it is from the early 70's??
Thanks,
Jodi

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
Serial number on a LPC cream color:
83422564

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 ..
Help

Hi, this is a fantastic meeting place full of interesting info. Thanks for making it available.
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
I have a SG Special with serial number 531806 on the headstock - am I right in saying this was manufactured in 1969? Thanks. Rob.

I just bought an acoustic F-Hols only w/ S/N EG-7004. Looking at the blue book PDF I still cant make out what this should be. My guess is 1939 Gibson but the 7004 I don't know where that fits.

Hi, I've come across a 12 string acoustic Gibson, the serial number is imprinted on the back of the head stock. The numbers are hard to see, it looks like 51780. Any idea what year it may be? Thanks.
We have an old Gibson that was my Father-in-laws.
He bought it used and we are looking for a tailpiece for it and have not been able to locate one.

Then in the top hole there is a stamped number: 1573 35.
Any info would be great!
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!
