It might seem laughable, even absurd, that the guitar world’s failure to appreciate the original Les Paul would lead to its deletion from the Gibson line up after 1960, but so it often goes with creations that are so far ahead of their time. Just a few years later, scores of groundbreaking artists would discover the incomparable power of this instrument, and its premature scarcity would also make it an extremely valuable guitar while the model was really still just a toddler, thus rendering it the first collectible “vintage” electric guitar. Fast forward 50 years, and the Les Paul of 1958-’60 has become the most prized electric guitar on the planet. But to say “the” Les Paul is actually somewhat misleading: while all of the fewer than 2,000 Les Pauls manufactured in this brief three-year timeframe are exceedingly desirable, they were often quite different guitars, too, varying not only from year to year as the model’s specs evolved, but varying even within the same year of manufacture.

@wildwoodguitars thanks for the tip but i just double checked the serial number with a magnafying glass cuz im old and the numbers are small. The serial number is correct. This guitar must be worth a fortune if its a 2008 cuz I got it in 1997! LOL!
@wildwoodguitars thanks for your help. it does have a decal. ill do sum research . had it appraised a few years back when i got it in 97 and they told me it was a late 60z cuz the last 4 numbers backwards would be 1968. but as i started to check it out i began to question if the guy knew what he was talking about. I wish they would just put the damn yr on stuff. why complicate things.thanks again keep on Rockin!
@ydnarnosfatsug Ha, well I could be wrong! I just did a little research and found that between 1975 and '77 Gibson used a decal with the serial number on it. Does yours have a decal? If so, then we're looking at 1976! 00 = '76. Without knowing anything about the guitar it's hard for me to determine. If you do a search Gibson Serial Number dates you'll find a plethora of information!
@ydnarnosfatsug Gibson serial numbers are the easiest to determine! Take the first and fifth digit and you get the year of production! Your serial number tells me that the guitar was made in 2008!
i have a cherry sunburst gibson les paul custom but im not sure how the serial number system works to tell what yr it is. 00 128691 could you enlighten me please.
