  1. @Dave F Sorry, let me rephrase, with the current 8 digit serial number system the last 3 digits for acoustics built in Bozeman begin with 001-499. 500-999 indicates Nashville production through 1989. There are exceptions ie. some instruments built in 1994
  2. For Gibson acoustics made in Nashville the 6th digit is a 5. For Boseman or Kalamazoo it is a 0.
  3. I bet Sgt.Pepper will love this one, Trans Blue lol https://www.long-mcquade.com/52646/Guitars/Acoustic/Gibson/J200_Standard_Ltd_-_Trans_Blue.htm
  4. I wonder if a capo left on the headstock in these two positions over time might leave an X...
  5. A 2013 J35 I used to own. The holes are used as positioning references I was told.
  6. That guitar is a 1958 according to the serial number. It is a regular LG0. Some people erroneously refer to all LG guitars as 3/4 size, which they are not. A true 3/4 size LG guitar does not share the shape of a regular LG series guitar but has a narrower waist. Could be worth anywhere from $500-1200 based on condition. Lower end of the scale is more likely.
  7. It's an LG1, looks to be very late 40's to early 50's.
  8. I bought a J35 in January 2014, serial number dated it to April 5,2013. I noticed a buzzing coming from the bridge area, checked under the hood with a mirror for loose ball end and discovered the dreaded bridge location hole right between the D and G strings...took it back to the retailer,pleaded my case and was given a replacement J35.
