Gogui Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hi Everyone, I have a Gibson SG and the series number is 506580. Anybody can inform me the Year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Hi Gogui, your serial number is from a period in the 1960's when there was some confusion in Gibson's numbering system. So your number dates to either 1965 or 1968. You can go to http://www.guitarhq.com/gibson.html#serial to see the lists of Gibson's various serial numbering systems over the years.

pohatu771 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 While the serial number could indicate two different years, there are obvious differences in specs between them. A large pickguard that surrounds the pickups would make it a 1968; a smaller pickguard that only covers half is a 1965. (Unless it is an SG Junior; the 1965 pickguard wouldn't touch the pickup at all.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
