Chris Doernbrack Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I picked up this guitar years ago from old man in Georgia who needed to pay some bills. It is in amazing condition with just a small issue on the back which you can see in the pictures. I have called Gibson to try to get some information but they tell me the record keeping during 68-69 was a mess and almost non-existent. I have never seen another custom like this. The fret board inlays are not typical nor is the case....I think. Could it be an artist model or some other unique model? Also, I have it insured but I have never been able to get enough information on the guitar to really estimate a value. I wouldn't mind some opinions. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dxz2ft7b8ea9s8u/qk6MPl4f0d FYI, the serial number starts with a 6. The pic is bit blurry.

ksdaddy Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Looks typical early 70s to me. Right down to the small rectangular inlays. Nice looking guitar but I believe it to be stone stock and correct to the period. I've seen lots of black/yellow Gibson cases too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 From my documents the HB switched to block inlays in 1973 until 1984. The 600000's were used from 70-72 and 74-75. Based on those numbers I would guess this is either or '74 or '75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
