akacappy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I just bought a R8 from my local dealer, Tall Toads Music Petaluma Ca. after looking at the Gibson web site I'm having a hard time breaking down my SN# it's (8 9576)I'm guessing it's R8 957run and the six has me puzzled? I thought the last diggit represented the model year, 1958? Thanks for any info, I love the guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomV Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 8 9576 = R 8 from 2009 , 576th 1958 solidbody reissue in that year If there are more models of solidbody reissues from that particular year, they are counted together, like e.g. R7 and R7BB - but that isn´t the case for 1958 IIRC.
