troutman23 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Hello. My Gibson serial number is U3 430 19, found by looking through the R.H. f-hole. I believe it is a 1957 model. Can you provide any info on this guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexcb Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I searched it on a serial number lookup and it is a 1957. Here is what it said: Year: 1957 Location: Kalamazoo, MI Info: Archtop models have a stamp on the inside of the F-hole. On flat tops have a stamp on the neck block.

There are knowledgeable people here who can tell you more about your guitar, but we're going to need more than just the Factory Order Number (the number you've provided is a FON, not a serial number). These numbers alone can not indicate what Gibson model you have. If you can post some photos, that would be ideal, if not, you'll need to describe the guitar in some detail.

slimt Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 For 1957. I guess first does it have a pick up? Cutaway or non cutaway? 16” wide or 17”? Bound headstock or no? ID is easier with pictures though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
