Thejacobhartman Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) I've been looking to verify my serial number as I don't think I have an original. I have an es335 TDC with a stamped "50451" on the head and no made in USA. No spaces and no letters either. Pots were replaced shortly before the previous owner passed so I can't check those. Any ideas on where to look? Edited May 25, 2022 by Thejacobhartman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on where to look? If there is no sticker in the F hole visible and the original pots have been swapped, the stamped serial number is all you got. Pics would help the experts.

JO'C Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 My go to source for dating Gibsons is the Gibson Electric Serialization chapter from the 11th Edition Blue Book of Electric Guitars. S/N 50451 puts the 335 as a 1962. Pics would help verify. Headstock front and back as well as front of body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
