NHTom Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ok, Saw a really cool guitar today. A 1977 Special in TV yellow. I really liked it.........to the point that I might seriously consider trading in some others to afford it. My only real concern is that the serial number on the back of the head stock was on a sticker. I don't know enough about the 70's guitars to know if this is proper. Any input from the experts would be appreciated. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yes, there were some in the mid 70s that had stickers...many times they were oval and often started with 76 or 00. It was BEFORE they made the distinction between Kalamazoo and Nashville production within the serial number but I'm betting it's Nashville.

L5Larry Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 the serial number on the back of the head stock was on a sticker. Yes, to elaborate (and correct) on what KSD has said.... the oval waterslide serial number/model decal is proper and correct for Gibson solid bodies made from 1975 through 1977. 99 = 1975 00 = 1976 06 = 1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
