Hey forum,
I have what I believe to be a 1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop. The reason I say believe to have is because everything I have read says the serial number starting with a 9XXXXX (the guitar is at home and I can get the actual serial number if anybody thinks it would help the discussion) is for a 1970, 1971, or 1972. In looking at the pot date, 3 of the 4 are original and have 1973 dates. Is it possible that the serial number starting with a 9 is in fact a 1973?
Thanks for your help!
