Lkdog Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 S/N 00540541 Guitar Dater project says: Your guitar was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA February 23rd, 2000 Production Number: 241 As this was first year of Memphis plant- not sure when they started to build the garden variety ES 335 there instead of Nashville. Any info welcome. I did send a note to Gibson, but not sure how long they tale to respond. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Does the sticker inside the guitar say "Gibson Memphis", or "Gibson Nashville"? Also, I think the last three digits of the serial number is an identifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think the last three digits of the serial number is an identifier. It is just a white round label. It does not say Nashville or Memphis. It has handwritten on it "ES 335" and then the serial number 00540541 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Years ago, if the last 3 numbers were 500 + it was Nashville-made. If that holds true???? than maybe 001-499 is Memphis-made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon S. Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 This would have been made in Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modoc_333 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 that guitar dater is useless. discussed here many times. as for serial numbers, 501-999 are allocated to Nashville. 001-100 (i think that's as high as they go) are allocated to Montana. The ones in between are allocated to Memphis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
