Im looking for a good vintage guitars forum. I have an old 1960s Gibson SG that I need to find out the exact year. I need a good knowledgable forum where people can help me out. Thanks
Oh, and in response to that first answer, the serial number is extremely faded. it was when they used to press the number into the actual wood.

Carla M asked:


a friend of mine gave me a Gibson melody maker and according to the serial number its from 1967, made in Nashville U.S.A. its in pretty good condition and im trying to figure out its price range.Its got sort of a wine red paint finish. It also has no pick guard.

Here is the serial number>>00303528

also this info may help.
it says “Made in The U.S.A” on the back of the headstock
both the serial number and the “made in the usa” are imprinted on the headstock(no decal or ink stamp)
AAAHHH!! CORRECTION!! ITS FROM 1976!! NOT 1967!!……….YES…TYPE-O…

d7freestyler asked:


Anybody have a ballpark estimate for the value of my old Gibson guitar with serial number 70078254?? I got it as a gift from a family friend with the original case. I’d say the guitar is in average shape, it’s playable and sounds fantastic. All original with minimal wear and tear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I know what the serial numbers mean, just want to know the approximate value.

Any musicians/guitar players who can give me some help deciding on what guitar to buy my hubby for Xmas??? He is in a band and I would like to add to his guitar collection. I am not looking to spend more that $1300/1400 max! I was looking at the Gibson Les Paul Vintage Electric which is on sale for $800 or a John Mayer Signature Stratocaster. Any help, advice, and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
