msteppe Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I found a 2005 es-335 td reissue for sale but it has a 6 digit SN stamped in the headstock. something like 005227 and Made in USA stamped below it. The guitar dater project says it is a 1970 or 1971 guitar. Can anyone help me? Did Gibson build reissues with 6 digit serial numbers? I was always under the impression that the reissues were 8 digits. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StijnV Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi msteppe, An Es-335 reissue should start since 1995 with a model number letter (like an A or a , or with a 2,3, 4 or 5, but not with a 0. The serial number could refer to 1970-1975, which seems to be however unlikely.

msteppe Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 That's curious....The seller has pictures of the guitar and one that clearly shows the headstock stamped with 005227 and Made in the USA. Any suggestions before I lay out 2,000 dollars for the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
