itsandythomas Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Hello! I'm looking at picking up this Gibson Songwriter, but when I look up the serial number, it doesn't make sense. Says it's from 76 in Kalimazoo... And I read that after '05, serial numbers should be 9 digits? Does this look like a red flag, or am I misunderstanding serial numbers? Guitar Serial number Sorry for I don't have better photos. I've not seen it in person yet, so these are all I have to go off.

ksdaddy Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Maybe the 9 digit thing doesn’t apply to Bozeman? 1st and 5th indicate 2007 2nd 3rd 4th indicate January 30 Last 3 indicate the neck was the 37th stamped that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes KSdaddy. +1 The Electric division went with the new serial format. The Acoustic division stuck the the older format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
