kiks Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi, Sorry for my very bad english...i'm french :( i've got a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe that i can't precisely tell the year of production here are the facts that i know : Serial is 1XXXXX, and according to Gibson Serials it was made between 1970 and 1975 But regarding the Guitardaterproject website its between 1970 and 1972 The neck is 3 pieces mahogany, the body is pancake, the neck position mini humbucker left is not embossed with "Gibson" (so not a 72) It was originally sunburst but have been refin in natural finish ( i believe that sunburst finish appaered in 71 on Deluxe) unforunatly the electronics pots have been removed so it's impossible to know the exact year :( it seems that the "Les Paul Model" is a Decal but i'm not sure of that the neck junction is a Trans-tenon and so certainly a Kalamazoo built the case is a Protector Gen1 case but don't know if it is original, i believe those case were first introduce in 1974 ? Personnaly, i would say 73 or 74, but i would like some help Thank you a lot !!! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiks Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 here's the Gibson Support answer : Hi Chris, The serial number configuration should be indeed for a guitar made in the period 1970-75. Unfortunately, if the pots are not originals, would be difficult dating the guitar.
