[liminlime_2005]

i have an acoustic gibson epiphone guitar that i know nothing about. it was givin to me as a gift. i have researched on gibsons site how to code the serial number but i have know clue. hoping someone here can help.

 

 

 

model NV-185

Number 7840556 these numbers was on a sticker right under the strings inside the guitar.

 

numbers 82 5C 26 was printed in ink inside the guitar, was kind of hard to see these numbers because of the location.

Some pictures would be of help.

 

From the designation, I wonder if this is a "Nouveau" model, an experiment that Gibson undertook getting a line of models built in Japan, or possibly elsewhere in the Pacific Rim, at a lower price point in the market.

 

Perhaps someone with reference information at their fingertips can provide some more information. (I don't have my stuff handy)

thanks for the post. i googled nv-185 and said "Nouveau" model, the models i seen that were "Nouveau" had it written on the head stock. mine just says gibson epiphone. im also interested in knowing about my serial numbers, wander if anyone knows how to read it?
