An exception is the year 1994, Gibson's centennial year; many 1994 serial numbers start with "94", followed by a six-digit production number [citation needed]. As of 2006, the company used seven (six since 1999) serial number systems, [95] [clarification needed] making it difficult to identify guitars by their serial number alone. The Gibson ...
Gibson released a Jimmy Page Signature EDS-1275 model in 2007; a total of 250 were made. [17] Page kept serial number one for himself.

The first serial number was 0178, instead of the usual 0001, as a reference to the month the first bass was completed, January 1978. [5] In 1990, Gibson Guitar Corporation purchased Tobias and moved production to Nashville. The first Tobias bass under Gibson ownership bore the serial number 1094.
Starting in 1968 Gibson made J-45s as square-shouldered dreadnought-shaped guitars with a longer scale (25.5"), similar to the Gibson Dove. Serial numbers tell us that during '68 and '69 both slope-shouldered and square-shouldered J-45s were made before the model changeover was complete. In the '70s the J-45 was re-labeled as the J-45 Deluxe.

No other guitars were manufactured in between, instead the serial numbers belonged to Gibson manufactured Skylark amplifiers. It is believed by Gueikian and Hammett that the two guitars were built at the same time from the same piece of wood.
The bridge is a standard Gibson Tune-o-matic, less heavy than the Schaller-made rectangular bridges from the mid-1970s, often called "harmonica" bridges. [ citation needed ] The pick-ups are not the original's ceramic sealed Bill Lawrence-designed "super humbuckers", but two humbucking pickups with four-conductor split-coil wiring—a 490R in ...
This model was produced in 1985 and early 1986, only under the Gibson nameplate. A custom shop version of a red Spirit XPL with one humbucker, a Kahler/Gibson tremolo bridge that used standard Gibson bridge posts, and body binding but no neck binding was observed on eBay in July/August 2010 bearing a 1983 serial number.
