I am also unable to figure out when my ES-335TDC ( '63 VOS) was made. It was made Memphis and the s/n is 28062. Can anyone help me?Thanks,Keith
Customer Service told me it is a 2013 50th Anniversary Model. It's a terrific guitar, looks, feels and sounds like a an old one.

The serial number refers in our database to a 1963 ES-335 block reissue, 50th anniversary, VOS, in historic burst, with nickel hardware, from 2013, made by the Memphis division.

Gibson Shipping Ledger from 1952
in Instrument ID and information
Posted
I have an L5CES, s/n A-10102, which seems to be from about April 1952. It was my father’s guitar and he purchased it as a new guitar from the Canadian distributor in Toronto in 1955. The three year gap is a bit of a mystery that I would like to solve. I have tried unsuccessfully many times to find out when the guitar actually left the factory and to whom it was shipped. Gibson wasn’t helpful when I asked them, even though they obviously have the 1952 shipping ledger (there is a YouTube video, below, showing it on display at a NAMM show) . Unfortunately, the video is focused on a date in May of that year, as that was when the first Les Paul was shipped. If anyone has access to the ledger or shipping details for my guitar, I would greatly appreciate any information.
thanks,
Keith
