Dilemma Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm struggling to decode the S/N on my Les Paul. 90606534. Would someone be able to assist? Much thanks, Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarJunkie Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 February 29th, 1996. The first and fifth digits are the year. Digits 2, 3 and 4 (060) are the day of the year. Since 1996 was a leap year, the 60th day was February 29th. The 534 is the production number. Anything over 300 (since 1990) indicates it was built at the Nashville plant.

Dilemma Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'd sent Gibson an email prior to posting here yesterday. It was built on the 60th day of '96. What I wasn't aware of was the figured maple made it a "Plus" They also sent this. The Honey Burst is mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
