According to the serial# you posted the guitar was made in 1996.

 

Email Gibson at service@gibson.com with the serial number and they should be able to tell you what model, finish, etc.

according to how gibson serial numbers work, your guitar was made on the 138th day of the year 1996 and was in the third batch. i'm not 100% confident on this but the first and fifth number tell you the year, the three in between give you the day of the year, and the sixth tells you the batch number. i believe they make 699 guitars a batch. i'm pretty sure about the first 6 numbers and the last three not so sure of. as big said, you should contact gibson for more details

Back in 1996, that number was used on an SG Standard that had heritage cherry finish and chrome hardware. It was shipped on June 27th of 1996.
