bilbon.s Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi all, Sorry if it is a stupid question, I'm new to gibson universe. I just bought a 2012 ES335 DOT and I was trying to check serial and model numbers. The sticker inside the guitar says Gibson Memphis, but serial 12072726 says it comes from Nashville factory. Is that an error ? If it helps, the model No is ESDTVSNH1. Thanks Sylvain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Interesting question. Gibson HAS made them both places, right? I am curious if there is a little cross-pollenation between factories and parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What's the paper label inside the guitar say? MEMPHIS There's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Memphis plant opened, the Nashville numbers went from 300-699 and Memphis numbers begin at 700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayz Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I had the same question about my ES335. Gibson Customer Service confirmed that body label is the correct identifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I had the same question about my ES335. Gibson Customer Service confirmed that body label is the correct identifier. Why would this even be a question? I know everyone wants their guitars to have been made in Nashville (just like we wanted our mid/late 70's guitars to have been made in Kalamazoo), but a factory applied label saying "Gibson Memphis" is pretty darn clear!

Jayz Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey there L5Larry - guitardaterproject.org incorrectly shows some serial numbers as made in Nashville, hence the request for clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey there L5Larry - guitardaterproject.org incorrectly shows some serial numbers.... Gutardaterproject incorrectly shows MANY Gibson serial numbers. The site should be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Gutardaterproject incorrectly shows MANY Gibson serial numbers. The site should be shut down. Right on, Larry. We almost need a "sticky" thread/announcement about that. Sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
