cmpaddock Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Morning to all, Hopefully someone can assist me with finding the age of a guitar I recently received. I ended up with a Gibson Les Paul Triumph from what I understand. when I took it to a local shop they determined that they did not know what year it was built. Thus here I am The serial number is 050462 with Made in the USA stamped below it on the headstock. I am including photos. What I am looking for is the official date (so it can be aged) and possible value. I know that true value is based on what someone would pay for it but my insurance company wants to know for replacement value. Any and all info helps.

Rabs Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 POT CODES???? Whats that? Pot is short for potentiometer.. Or in plain English the volume and tone controls :) Take the control plate off and have a look at the pots there are often date codes on them..
