boog330 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I have a original Gibson 1959 ES 330T w/ alligator case and can not find the serial. Only has a ES 330 very lightly stamped in black ink in the low-e F hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Look carefully to see if there's an FON (factory order number) stamped inside the back on the opposite (treble) side. If it's from 1959, the number should be preceded by the letter 'S'. Like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Jim is correct, that’s where you should find it - but sometimes the ink can be almost totally faded out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
