Gibson Guitar Dater Site

Wily,

Not quite sure why you posted this. In my experience, this dater is almost useless for vintage acoustic guitars with FON's rather than serial numbers. It correctiy identifies my 1947 L-7, which has a serial number on a label, but has no provision to input FON's ink-stamped on the neck block. My 1948-1950 J-45, for example, comes back as made in 1917. Good luck on that.

 

In most cases, I find it more misleading than informative.

It also doesn't tell if the guitar is real at all. If someone makes a fake, and uses the correct serial number scheme then this site says that the guitar is legit.

 

personally, i wish this sight would go away as it seems to cause more trouble than helps.
