Chris Doernbrack Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I have had this guitar since 2002 but I have never been able to get any information on the age of it. I am pretty sure it's a late 60's model. I am also not sure if the case is original but it fits like a glove, is definitely very old, and has that "stepping back in time" smell when opened. Would be curious on value as well....though I have no plans of ever selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JO'C Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hello Chris, The guitar is from the 70's. Gibson changed from the orange oval stickers to the white and orange rectangular stickers in 1970. They also started stamping "Made in USA" on the back of the headstock starting in 1970, so that's the oldest it could be. Unfortunately this was an erratic time period for Gibson serial numbers. My source for serial number identification puts your serial number in either 1970, 1971, 1972, 1974, 1975. So only 1973 can be ruled out in the first half of that decade as those serial numbers start with an 8. What I can see from the case also puts it in this same period.
