muttley67 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Just got my first Gibson a Les Paul standard from Guitar Center. I get home and try to verify info by serial number and comes up unidentified on every Gibson serial look up I can find. serial number is 122990201 also made in usa lettering seems kinda shallow and does not say the year under it like others I have seen posted with a serial starting with a 12 Any feedback greatly appreciated ......Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttley67 Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) A update returned it. Guitar played great but not throwing down cash for a guitar that can't be identified. Resale, trade in and piece of mind right out the window. Brand new ice tea 60's coming Monday. Finally after 40 years will own a Gibson (still love my G&L though the battle for #1) Edited May 18, 2023 by muttley67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 That's a 2019 number, Gibson USA went back to the standard serial# scheme with the 1st and 5th indicating the year and the 2nd-4th indicating the day of the year, with no model year stamp. So 122990201 = 229th day of 2019 (August 17th, 2019) , it's a shame it was returned for that but glad you have another Gibson coming your way!
