Marco Carboni Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Hello everybody I own a gibson Les Paul Deluxe with serial number 637141 with number 1 a bit lowered down as you can see from the attached picture. According to the serial numbering logics should be a 1963 model am I wrong? Do you guys at Gibson know how much that guitar value would be? Except being part of my heart 😉. Thanks for your reply, Marco from Italy Edited June 15, 2021 by Marco Carboni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hi Marco, Firstly I'm no expert. Secondly, this forum is for users and few (if any) Gibson staff will read stuff here. I just found this https://www.vintageguitarandbass.com/gibson/Les_Paul_Deluxe.php which places the earliest LP Deluxe at 1969. So if your guitar is from 1963, is it a deluxe? If it is a deluxe, maybe its not a 63. BTW, I've not seen a 5 piece Gibson headstock before. More photos might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 There aren't any 1963 Les Pauls. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Marco, If I were you, I would contact Gibson Customer Support directly and ask them the question. With a few more photos, they will be able to tell you what you have there. https://www.gibson.com/Support/Contact As Merciful Evans pointed out, that five-piece headstock is a curiosity. I have never seen such a thing on a Gibson Les Paul. Older arch-tops, yes. Some of those had three-to-five piece maple necks/headstocks. Or so I have been told. 😐 Edited June 15, 2021 by sparquelito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
