mgrmatt Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Might try giving Gibsom cust svc a call. I don't know if thet track these type sn#'s or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barcham Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Gibson do not track those serial numbers because those guitars do not come from Gibson. They come from a company that buys damaged new guitars, repairs them and resells them. Most of them come from a company named MIRC. There may be other companies that do the same thing but this is the only one I've come across. http://mircweb.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrmatt Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I could be wrong but I think these JL Casinos with the "R" on the back of the headstock are a bit of a different cituation. The original run was a limited run and these were left over bodys after the limted run. They were sold at MF ( And possibly other outlets?) with a standard black case.

Yes, I was also wondering if this guitar might have come from that run. They did the same type of a close out with the JLH Sheraton. I believe some of them were shipped without a case.

jonny_2_owls Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks for the help guys! I believe that it was one of the guitars left from the limited run of 1965. There's not a mark on it anywhere and no issues with it at all. The only thing I can see is a small blemish in the wood grain near the input jack. Maybe this mark stopped it making it into the final 1965?? The guy I got it from said he got it from the USA and it did come in a deluxe black epi case.
