Russhutch Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hello everyone. New to this forum- just purchased this sweet SG Standard and am trying to fill out the warranty card and need the model number but can't find it. The serial number on the headstock is 220310177 where do I find the model number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBSinTo Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Russhutch, If you just purchased this brand new guitar, perhaps asking the dealer you bought it from would get you the information you require? RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It’s usually written on the warranty flyer that comes with the guitar that has the string setup inspection numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I kinda thought the model name was on the tag inside the box. On a related note....I bought a brand-new Gibson in 2011....so I filled out the card and sent it in. I already had a 2003 guitar that was never registered, (had all the docs still in the case), that I had bought from GC 3-4 years before. I asked Gibson if I could fill out the warranty card, not for warranty, but to document the guitar to me. They said that would be fine....so I have 2 of my Bozeman guitars registered to me...and my other Bozeman guitar is registered to Leslie, (who is a member of this forum). I never bothered with the Kalamazoo guitars, even though my original Dove was purchased nearly new from Music Unlimited in San Leandro.

Whitefang Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Welcome to the boards RUSS. And I'd consider RBSinto's advice. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Whitefang, Usually when I give advice like this, I'm admonished for not spoonfeeding the poster, so I'm surprised and frankly delighted that someone else here agrees with me. And as an aside, the "T" in "RBSinTo" is capitalized, as "To" is short for "Toronto". RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 In addition to the warranty card there should be another sheet as Dave F mentioned that shows the model number. It is longer than the serial number and is coded. Often we have a hard time figuring out everything it describes but if you can figure out the code it will tell what model the guitar is, the color, the hardware finish and more. i.e. the last new Gibson I bought was a limited run of Hummingbirds with quilted maple bodies and a Viper blue finish. The Mode number is SSHQVBPSL0405. Not sure what all that means, but you get the idea. Sweetwater Special run, Hummingbird, Quilt, Viper Blue and I have no idea what the PSL0405 means. The model number will be the same for all the guitars they made in that finish/hardware/ etc. The serial number is unique to your guitar alone.

gdecantoo Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Do they still put the model numbers in the pickup cavities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
