If you are having trouble dating and identifying a Gibson guitar the first thing you want to check is the serial number.. Gibson's serial number system through out the years have changed multiple times, their serial numbers can give you some valuable information on a particular guitar if you know how they worked. Here are some good pointers to remember without going into details.. 1. If you are buying a vintage Gibson guitar and the seller claims that it was made in 1935 the serial number can not be more than 5 digits and can not have a letter. From 1902 to 1947 Gibson serial numbers started at 100 to 99999. 2. From 1947 to 1961 Gibson serial numbers started with an "A" usually followed by 3 to 6 digits. 3.

Gibson SG Special (1959- 1978)  In 1959 until early 1961 the SG Special had a double rounded cutaway and were made with rounded horns, they had no model name on the peg head and were made in cherry or cream finish. In 1961 the Gibson SG Les Paul Standard and the Gibson SG Les Custom were introduced on the market and until this day these Gibson guitars are some of the most popular electric guitars ever made. They had 2 pointed twin cutaways, the SG Les Paul Custom was finished in black or white (3 hum buckers) and the SG Les Paul Standard was finished in cherry red (2 hum buckers).  In 1961 another double pointed cutaway style body emerged on the market and was called the Gibson SG Special, the SG Special was basically a another but less fancy version of the SG Les Paul Standard , it had 2 P-90 soap bar pickups, dot inlays (not trapezoid), pearl Gibson logo on the peg head, nickel hardware, wrap around tailpiece, mahogany body, small pick guards, bound neck like the stan...
