guitargirl67 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 My father has a older LG 2 gibson, however we are trying to determine exactly how old it is. The marking (FON) in the neck is 7041 31. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumner77 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 sounds like a '51. http://www.provide.net/~cfh/gibson.html#serial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfden1 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 sounds like a '51. http://www.provide.net/~cfh/gibson.html#serial That's a good source, but can you post any pictures? That might help as well. FON's are not always reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Dennis is correct. My J-45 is from this general time frame; 1950 FON, which Gruhn says is a '49 and Fred Oster says is earlier still. Pictures would help. You have a fine instrument there. The post-war period for Gibson was a special one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
