Les Paul Classic 1989-2014: This model features an ink stamped serial number with no 'MADE IN USA' (just as we used on the original 1952-1960 Les Pauls). There are always exceptions to these rules, the two listed below are worth noting: The only difference is the addition of this batch indicator. The first 5 numbers remain the same, the last 3 numbers will remain the same. The sixth number is now a batch number- batch 0 starts at the beginning of the day, and once we stamp 699, the batch number will change to 1. NOTE - Gibson USA goes to a 9 digit serial number in early July 2005. 3, 1985, in Nashville and was the 1st instrument stamped that day. 10, 1978, in Kalamazoo and was the 276th instrument stamped that day.ДЁ2765501 means the instrument was produced on Oct.
