Milos_revo Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 HI ! my name is nicola and yesterday i bought my first SG VOS Custom shop classic white. I have a question for the serial and the years, i bought it used and the serial is 03@@@2. The last 2 is ok for "SG standard vos" but the first two numer is for the years.. The seller says that this sg is 2013, but in your guide-site say that the 03 is 2003.. How is possible know the real years of my sg vos ? in the COA there are only the model and the inspection.. This is the pictures thanks for all Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hello Nicola and welcome to the Forums. It looks just like a 2013 SG Standard Reissue: http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/SG/Gibson-Custom/SG-Standard-Reissue.aspx Good luck...

btoth76 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hello again. I am unsure by the info You have provided. Is it a six or a five digit serial? Bence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 If it's a six-digit, it will be 2013. According to Gibson's site: "1952-1960 Les Paul, Explorer, Flying V, and Futura reissues (since late 1992): M YRRR or MYRRRR M is the model year being reissued Y is the production year RRR® indicates the guitar's place production for that year."

Milos_revo Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 i have six serial number but the gibson site say this 1961-1969 Firebird, Les Paul, and SG reissues (since 1997): YYRRRM Y is the production year RRR® indicates the guitar's place in production for that year. M is the model being reissued Reissue model codes: 1= SG Custom and Special 2= SG Standard 3= 1963 Firebird 1 4= 1964 Firebird III 5= 1965 Firebird V & VII 8= 1968 Les Paul Custom Examples: 050102 is the 10th SG Standard reissue produced in 2005. With this example my sg is 2003... but it is real strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Custom Shop serial are confusing. In my reading: "0" for 1960 Reissue, "3" for production year 2013... What also makes me think it's a 2013, is the hardware. If the guitar is stock, the reflector knobs were not used on 2003 models. They have black top hats.
