    Hi I have a Gibson Marauder stamped 560371 Made in the USA.  If Marauders were first produced in 1975 (?) then what does that serial number mean? 

    Thanks

    I have the same problem, a serial number that makes no sense to me,  including that mine is 7 digits! 

  2. ksdaddy, ---An observation,  If you look close at the 7 digit number in the above photo, you'll see the "2"  looks thinner, as if,  it was added afterward by a different stamp.  How would you account for this?   Once you see this photo, lets please DELETE it.   I want to protect Gibson serial numbers.    

  3. Just thinking, the serial number has 7 digits  (I ONLY find 6 digits used for Marauders) .  And this serial number begins with a 2 (both of these two facts  make NO sense to me)    If I ignored this 2, and used the 1-5 digit rule, this guitar would be a 1974, and that sounds about right.   Could the first digit 2, have been added by mistake?    Any thoughts?   Also I read the Marauders were made  in Kalamazoo,  AND in Nashville.  So could one of them, used a different numbering system?   Here is a photo.
