Serial numbers can be forged too. It takes a trained eye.

SOURCE: which string used for epiphone gibson lea paul special II guitar

This is really a personal choice as long as the strings are made for an electric guitar there are hundreds of different kinds, it mostly has to do with the thickness of the strings and how the thinner the string the easier it is to manulipulate, you should go to a good music store and tell them what type of music you play and they will give you some choices.

SOURCE: Digitech Vocalist Live 4 blead through

I'm having a similar problem with my Sterling audio ST-55 mic and a acoustic guitar. I regenerates the signal and sounds like it's under water. I turned down the mic input knob on the back of the unit until I got a clean sound. The only down downside to this is you have to practically eat the mic.
As for solution #1... Another mic choice will do the trick. But the other technique with putting a wall between your guitar and mic doesn't sound like it would work if you are sitting in front of your digital recorder with a mic in front of you and a guitar in you lap.

SOURCE: Yamaha FG110's year (acoustic guitar) and BB450's year (bass)

According to yamaha's site, that's an invalid serial number??!!??

I would guess that might be the date code.

Other sites report 5, 6 and 8 "digit only" serial numbers.

Nothing for 7 numbers.

If i had to guess, the earliest...1971
Hope this helps.

I have a solid body Gibson guitar serial number 906279. What year was it made? Any other info?

That number matches a guitar made at the
Kalamazoo Plant, MI, USA in 1959.

The serial number does not give us the exact model, but a genuine Gibson solidbody made in 59 is likely to be a Les Paul Junior or a Melodymaker. Reverb prices those around US$7000 depending on condition and finish.

If it is not a fake (there are plenty of those around) and it does look that old, you could decide to get an online professional valuation from

https://guitars.com/appraisals.

If you do, take especially good photos of both sides of the headstock and any other Gibson logos on it.

Hello...i have a black gibson les paul custom. Serial number 00117886. what year is it and would this be considered a black beauty? any idea of value too?

The term 'Black Beauty' has been well overused by now. It was originally the 1957 black Les Paul Custom model, but by now is any black Les Paul Custom. In addition Gibson themselves are cashing in by doing reissues, finished to look older.

So if it is a black Les Paul Custom, then yes, it is a Black Beauty, according to someone somewhere. On top of that, Gibson has reused serial numbers, in different years for different models.

If the serial number is stamped on the headstock with 'Made In USA' the guitar was made at the Kalamazoo or Nashville Plant, in 1976.

Those guitars are worth US$3000-4000 depending on condition.

Otherwise it was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, on January 11th, 2007.

Those newer reissue guitars sell for similar prices.

Can you date gibson acoustic with serial number L-67913 should be LG-2

No, but you can try:

"Serial numbers can be extremely tricky," says Gibson Customer Service Manager Jason Davidson, whose team fields calls and emails regarding every Gibson division. "Some can tell you a lot about a guitar, and some don't really tell you anything. Gibson has had so many different schemes over the years, and now we're using reissue serial numbers that look like the old serial numbers."

Gibson serial number check

Gibson 1961-1969 Custom SG reissues since 1997
YYRRRM
Y is the production year
RRR(R) indicates the guitar's place in production for that year.
M is the model being reissued
Reissue model codes:
1= SG Custom and Special
2= SG Standard
3= 1963 Firebird 1
4= 1964 Firebird III
5= 1965 Firebird V & VII
8= 1968 Les Paul Custom
So I think 737582 would mean the guitar was the 758th Custom SG Standard built in 1973. See this... http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Support/SerialNumberSearch/Default.aspx
