qwakatronic Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I picked up this J60 about 5 years ago, but haven't been able to learn much about it. Haven't seen any others like it despite a lot of research. It's a mid-90's build. Ebony fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, abalone rosettes and inlay around the hole. Anyone know anything about it? As far as I can tell from the serial number, it's from late 93. The last 3 digits are 001--does that mean it's a MTO/one-off? I'm not that familiar with reading the serials.

QuestionMark Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I wonder if you called Gibson Customer Service in Bozeman, Montana or in Nashville if they could help you. Or, if you also called Gruhn Guitars in Nashville if they have any info. Just a thought. QM aka “Jazzman” Jeff

slimt Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 There were 1992 / 1993 era. You have a serail number and label to show? I also believe they made these in the latter years of the 90s as well. I had one from 92 with a birdseye maple back and sides it had the plaque on the back of the peghead.
