    CS52619

    Not for sure but based on this, it's the 2,619th Custom Shop built in a 2005

    Custom Shop regular production models
    CSYRRRR
    CS stands for "Custom Shop"
    Y indicates the production year
    RRRR indicates the guitar's place in the sequence of production

     

    Example: CS10845 is the 845th reg. production CS model produced in 2001.

    If it were a specific reissue that would have a different numbering system per below.

    Gibson Custom

     

    1952-1960 Les Paul, Explorer, Flying V, and Futura reissues (since late 1992):
    M YRRR or MYRRRR
    M is the model year being reissued
    Y is the production year
    RRR(R) indicates the guitar's place production for that year. NOTE: This number includes all models for a particular reissue year - so, for example, a 1958 Reissue serial number may include '58 Reissue LP Standard and '58 Explorer production.

     

    Example: 7 5123 is the 123rd 1957 reissue model produced in 2005.

     

    1961-1969 Firebird, Les Paul, and SG reissues (since 1997):
    YYRRRM
    Y is the production year
    RRR(R) indicates the guitar's place in production for that year.
    M is the model being reissued
    Reissue model codes:
    1= SG Custom and Special
    2= SG Standard
    3= 1963 Firebird 1
    4= 1964 Firebird III
    5= 1965 Firebird V & VII
    8= 1968 Les Paul Custom

     

    Examples: 050102 is the 10th SG Standard reissue produced in 2005.
    030084 is the 8th 1964 Firebird III reissue produced in 2003.

     

    Historic ES MODELS (since 1995):
    (A or B)-MYRRR
    M is the model year being reissued
    Y is the production year
    RRR indicates the guitar's place in the sequence of Historic ES production for that year.
    Reissue model codes:
    2= ES-295
    3= 1963 ES-335 (block inlays)
    4= ES-330
    5= ES-345
    9 with an "A" prefix = 1959 ES-335 (dot inlays)
    9 with a "B" prefix= ES-355

     

    Example: A-38005 is the 5th '63 ES-335 Reissue produced in 1998.
    Carved Top models (serial number on orange label)
    YDDDYRRR
    YY is the production year
    DDD is the day of the year
    RRR indicate the guitar's place in the sequence of carved tops made that day.
    NOTE - as of 2000, 1st digit will be a "2"

     

    Examples:
    91418009 is the 9th carved top produced on the 141st day of 1998.
    20045002 was the 2nd carved top stamped on the 4th day of 2005.

    Thanks Dave!!!! 

    you are really kind! I also found this reading pattern but I don't understand why 5 means 2005...could it be 1995 or 2005 or 2015...it always ends with 5. can you help me understand better? moreover, since the guitar has no documents, I don't know if a buyer will accept such an expensive guitar without documents! I would buy it to resell it but will I succeed without the guitar documents? will it be enough to reduce the price a little or will a custom shop without certificates not be easy? thank you (p.s. sorry for my english!)

    CS = Negozio personalizzato..

    non seguono le sequenze di numeri di serie "standard" (e ogni evoluzione e cambiamento) utilizzate da Gibson 

    in realtà devi "lavorare" per ottenere informazioni da Gibson su questo. 

    non facile come cliccare su questo link di ricerca

    thanks
