DWP37 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Anyone know when the stickers started to be applied inside the bodys of Gibson guitars? I had a 1975 ES 335 with an orange sticker inside the body. My 1966 ES 330 does not have it. I believe it was an inspection sticker. Just curious.

Notes_Norton Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 My 1970 ES-330 does not have a sticker inside. So that narrows it to between 1970 and 1975. Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 All the Gibson hollow and Semi-hollow body guitars I've owned have had stickers, from a 1947 L-7, to a 1975 ES-335, to a 2000 ES-345. From the noted examples, it sounds like it might be a model related omission, not related to a specific date or era. These lables have also been known to come off, so maybe there was an era of bad glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny W. Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Gibson has been using labels inside hollow-body guitars (except some low-end acoustics) since the 1890's and still does. If one is missing, it either fell out or they overlooked it. Danny W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWP37 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Thanks guys. Didn't know if it was only included in some models or that it might have fallen out or been deliberately removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
