John Eppstein. I'd love to know when my Gibson SG was made. The serial number is 621704. I find their search tool to be very confusing and I don't trust the The Guitar Dater Project - Gibson Serial Number Decoder as it's wanted me go download something and I don't trust it. Quick Overview: Serial Number/FON Identification by Era. 1902-1908: Often no serial number or model name on label, picture of Orville Gibson and lyre mandolin, date sometimes penciled under the top (must be seen with a mirror).

[HELP] Les Paul Classic - Serial Number Identification
So, I have a Gibson Les Paul Classic, Honey Burst finish, I believe. When I bought it, years ago, I was told it's a 1998. But after looking at Gibson's website for serial number identification, I'm confused as to whether it's a 1998 or 1991.
