L5Larry Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I don't know specifically about the Page EDS, but the mid/late-60's Gibson logo did not have a dot over the "i". The slightly different early 70's logo did not have a dot either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 It's not a fake! I checked the serial number via Gibson, and it was made in 1987 in september, the 140 guitar in that day!!! So, fake is surely not!!!!!! The page signature are fake too then????????? Cause they also don't have a dot on the i!!!!!!!! So before you answer such stupidity, check first!

pippy Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 The Gibson logo on the peghead has changed several times over the years. As related by Yas Iwanade in TBoTB, the early ('52 - '57) LP's had the logo further from the top of the scroll. It came to it's current place at the same time as the CSB finish was introduced in '58. No-one knows (so-far...) why. During the '70s the logo had a 'closed' 'b' and 'o' as well as the lack of the dot over the 'i'. The height the dot is over the 'i' can vary too. Later on they reverted to the 1958 style logo and it's still with us in this form. It's seems it was all down to easing the manufacturing process.
