Eracer_Team Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Guitar looks real to me.. What do you mean the pickup's have the same serial number? didn't think Gibson put individual serial numbers on pickups.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 PAT (patent) numbers cover every pickup of that design made by the registering company, so yes, different pickups of the same design and maker will all have the same patent(PAT) number.

pippy Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi and welcome. The guitar dater brings up this; "Your guitar was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA August 13rd, 1990 Production Number: 200 " If you look at the 3rd snap you can see the date stamp in the bridge p-up cavity. They are within one day of the GD response. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
