    Something Doesn't Jive with this Serial number and Model

    in Gibson USA

    Posted

    Why do people call up a company, get about as definitive a pedigree as you can get directly from the source, and then go on a forum and ask people to help them convince themselves that the guitar is different, more specialer than the people that made it say it is?

     

    Really. "CALL GIBSON" is the first thing anyone is told that asks "HOW SPECIAL IS MY SPECIAL?".

     

    I really just don't get it is all, it isn't an attack, it isn't personal, not slagging the OP or anyone in particular, just truly wonder why a call to the people that made it just...isn't...enough.

    IDK, BUT,

     

    LOL, sure sounds like an attack, BWAH HA HA !!

    It isn’t an attack,it isn’t personal,not slagging.

    People come on Internet forums asking honest questions because they go to the source and don’t get the answers their looking for.

    I contacted Gibson about a guitar i have that they built,they told me what it was but i knew what it was just by looking at it,i was wanting a bit more information about the guitar,they couldn’t tell me any more about the guitar even though they built it.

    People like myself only come on forums like this trying to find answers,not to have people being smartarses or dicks,criticising us for asking honest questions.

    I don’t have the answer to the op’s question but I understand his desire to find out what guitar he’s actually got,is that so hard to try and help somebody on an Internet forum?

    How do I get more info about my Gibsons?

    I’m the same as larsongs,I’ve got a Gibson guitar I would like more information on.

    When I emailed Gibson they were not very helpful,saying they did not have the spec of the guitar in question,WTF,they built the thing but do not have any idea what the spec of it is ,what kind of company doesn’t keep track of what they produce and sell to the public .i understand that they produce lots of guitars but when you give them a serial number and description of the guitar you’d like to think they at least have an idea of what your asking about,it’s not as if the guitar in question is an old guitar,it’s a quite recent guitar.

    I’ve spent hours on the internet trying to find anything about this particular guitar and there is not a lot of information out there,I’m just an ordinary guy who bought a guitar and would like to know a little about the history of the guitar I’m now the owner of and now playing.

    This is not a rant about Gibson,but a genuine query about how to find some details of what I own,Gibson’s are the only electric guitars i own,so I’m just curious about what I’ve paid for,I’m not wanting to know who owned it before me or where it’s been,just some spec on the build of the guitar
