andywhoa Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I apologize if this is a tiring thread. I purchased a Gibson SG-3 in 2007 from Guitar Center, and I cannot, for the life of me, find the card included with the guitar's serial number and luthier's signature. The headstock does not have what I understand to be a standard serial number. It has "E 085." How can I find more information out about my guitar? Namely, the actual serial number. I'm a bit lost on how to proceed. I have sent an email to Gibson's customer support to ask if they carry that kind of information in their records. Thanks for your help.

charlie brown Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Nice looking SG-3!! I think you're going to have to wait on Gibson's Customer Service, as there doesn't appear to be any mention, of SG-3 4 digit serial numbers. They are mentioned, on LP Classic's, but not the SG-3. Sorry... Maybe someone else will be able to tell you? But, I think the E, is for "Ebony" and the number is the actual number of your guitar, out of the original 400 made (or, whatever the limited edition production number was, for that model)! So, if I'm right, E 085 would mean you have an Ebony (Black) version, (obviously) that is #85 out of 400 made. Have you tried the "Everything SG" Web site? They may have more info, if you don't hear back from Gibson, Call them again. They've always been good (to me) about such things. Good Luck!
