Google "Gibson serial numbers".

Yes, plekd.

 

Cheers for the answer.

 

I guess it's made in August 2006... that means the Plek machine was in full use?

 

Also.. Whats the difference between this one and a new R0? I know new ones have top hat knobs....

New ones do not have top hats. The only R0s that do not come come with reflectors from the factory are Version 1 & 2 50th anniversary R0s. All other R0s come with reflectors but anyone can change them as the previous owner of your guitar likely did.

 

Difference between yours and a new one.

Thanks! :)

 

Also a funny thing about mine is the gloss finish, but the worn hardware... normally the gloss ones have chrome hardwere right?

 

Where can i get original knobs with silver reflectors? seems to be only gold/gold available.

If you are in the UK I have a set I can send you FOC. I bought them and put them on my R6, didn't like them, took them off again!

Nope, The R0's are made with Nickel hardware originally,as Standard stock production. Gloss or VOS models. Sounds like you have a VOS that has been polished up. Or Someone changed the hardware.
