By black beauty, do you mean to say it is a vintage Gibson Les Paul?

 

Knowing the model (and a photo or two) would certainly help us to provide some assistance in this matter.

 

By that serial number, it is very likely a late 1960's or early 1970's guitar, that much is certain.

The difference between the two hinges on that 'made in USA' emblem.

 

Again, some photos would help.

6 digits, Made in USA stamp, from my reference material it looks to be a either a '70, '71 or '72. The serial number system was really a mess during that time period.
