having a 666 in there would obivously rock! or your lucky numbers or something. my recently returned :-k j45rw had '1138' (as in thx-1138..cool sci-fi film) which at the time said "buy ME!" ... and i also wanted a 0xxx8xxx 2008 because my first child will be born in november and i dug the idea of have a guitar make the same year as his/her(?) birth.

 

so now i'll be on the hunt for a new j45 rw (hopefully i can find a buzzless one)...and once again i'll be hoping for a serial number that is in some way..neat-o.

 

no doubt that is the absolutely most unimportant factor in buying a guitar....am i alone?

 

also i wish gibson was using the orange labels.

It's like everything else Andrew

If you want to fixate about serial numbers and I want to collect empty Elixir packets, then the world may regard us as plonkers.

 

Sorry KSD has a P*sser of a day yesterday, looks like today's my turn!

It might be fun to have a serial number that has a meaning like a birthday or something like that but I wouldn't waste the time searching for it and I wouldn't let that be a deciding factor on whether or not I buy that guitar.

 

On a side note, a friend of mine did play part of the serial number of my Gibson bass (0154) on a pick four lotto ticket and won $50.00.

Statisticians and mathematicians would suggest that yes, you ARE superstitious and silly.

Astrologers and numerologists would, of course, beg to differ.

Personally, I think very small serial numbers are cool.

For financial reasons, however, all my serials are:

(a) large to humungous.

But then - I favour the attitude of the statisticians and mathematicians.
