jesus Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The model les paul custom guitar in 1976 should say to the head "MADE IN USA" without the dots or points between each letter Or should say "MADE IN U.S.A." with the dots or points between each letter, which is the right way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 A 1976 Gibson is easily identifiable by a "coded" serial number. In 1976 a serial number decal was used, which had an 8-digit serial number starting with the date code "00" (for 1976). My 1975 LP has the "Made In USA" stamped into the wood without dots between the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Here's a typical 75-77 serial number format I have seen this serial# / ID formatting on later years going all the way up to 1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 My 1975 LP has the "Made In USA" stamped into the wood without dots between the words. Correction, I just looked at my '75 LP Standard, everything is on the decal, serial number, model name and "Made In USA". I have seen this serial# / ID formatting on later years going all the way up to 1980 I'll have to disagree with Duane on this one. The 8-digit serial numbers did continue (to this day), but not in the 75-77 format of the 2-digit "year code" prefix. Published information states that the current 8-digit serial number system (YDDDYNNN) was initiated in August of 1977. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
