Whitefang Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I've asked this in various Gibson boards since 2000------- When did Gibson change the "G" in their headstock name from a script("cursive") "G" to the one they've been using for the last how many decades? Gibson's "history"on their website doesn't give any info nor does WIKI. And I'd like to know why, since I like the way it looks.

DanvillRob Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 My oldest Gibson is a 1969/70, (not sure of the year, but they only made that model for 2 years), and it has the same "G" as the logo up on top of the Forum page. So, more than half a century ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you got it right. And thanks to both you and wildbill for the info. And maybe it's just me(or maybe not) but I kinda like the old "script" logo better.

Even mahogany top to spruce on some. It seemed to be a year lack of fon numbers and serial numbers. On some guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
