Serials 1977-2013. The most sustainable numbering system Gibson was launched in 1977, an eight-digit number. The first and fifth digit representing the year of manufacture. The three intermediate digits, the day of that year. The digits to six to eight gave the serial number. After opening of the new factory in Nashville, in the sequence numbers were also included the production site. 001 to 499 appeared on the instruments built in Kalamazoo, 500 to 999 built in Nashville. Even after the closing of the factory in Kalamazoo in 1984, this process was continued until 1989 in Nashville. In 2005 the system was upgraded to first digit at the end of the batch number was inserted. The sequence numbers were 500 to 699, after which the batch number 1 was increased, and the number returned 500. Gibson closed the Memphis plant in April 2019. The production of the "USA made" solid body guitars is now only produced in Nashville. 序列号后三位121,意思是在纳什维尔(Nashville)生产的,至于为什么要用404代替039(都代表二月8号的意思),难道是因为当天生产的数量超过了500把?
Those beginning with "94": In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, many instruments have a serial number that begins with "94" for the year, with the remaining 6 digits indicating the ranking number. 确定了不是假琴,也不是98年的,而是94年Gibson百周年时生产,由于代价特殊,所以序列号特殊以94开头。 迷之大G序列号!!!
第一把reissue是1956年的式样,琴头小一点(1950年的样子),P-90拾音器.琴颈琴身的粘合处比1950年的样式要宽.序列号打在琴头背后的木头上,所有的金属部件都是镀铬(不是镍),金色的旋钮上有"volume"和"tone"的字迹.1968年的goldtop和1956年的非常像,区别是1968年的重的多. 1969年早期,Les Paul Standard的琴头宽了些,有点像橘子色.中期重新命名为Les Paul Deluxe. 1971年Les Paul Standard特点: 是1954年Les Paul Standard的翻版,2个P-90拾音器上有"gibson"的字样.1973年停止生产. 1976年Les Paul Standard特点: 琴体有4层(枫木的表面,一层厚的桃花心木,薄的枫木,最后一层厚的桃花心木),2个标准的humbucker,枫木表层是3片拼合的,琴桥是tuneomatic,琴颈盖板上有"Standard"的字样,颜色有樱桃红,酒红,木色和烟熏的颜色. 1978年Les Paul Standard特点: 枫木表层2片拼合,有金色的型号了.
