Blueskunk Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Many thanks guys. How u work it out? Cheers
NeoConMan Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 82018557 First and fifth are the year - 1988 82018557 2nd - 4th are serial day of the year - 201st day. 82018557 Last 3 (or four after 2005) are the actual serial for that day's production.
Blueskunk Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Many thanks guys, really helpful. :-) Last question, honest. Just read Gibson didnt make classic57s till 90s, what pickups would be in the sg61 reissue? Edit: just read they didnt make 61 reissues in 1988? Its defo all stock and has the 61 neck and looks like a 61, could it be a 62 reissue? Whats the difference? Soz guys thats a fair few questions!! Seriously, all help is appreciated.
NeoConMan Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Hmmmmm...... Not sure. Call Gibson Customer Service - 800 444-2766. They are usually happy to aid you, especially if you have a serial number to discuss. Pickups - I would guess 490/498 in the neck/bridge.
Blueskunk Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 Ill try and get a pic up tomorow. Is it easy to attach photos to posts? Cheers guys
