I got this off the Gibson web site. In 1977, Gibson introduced the serialization method that we primarily use to this day at Gibson USA, Gibson Acoustic, and the Gibson Custom facility in Memphis, TN. The serial number will be an 8 digit number impressed into the back of the headstock with "MADE IN USA" below. The pattern is as follows: YDDDYRRR YY is the production year DDD is the day of the year This would indicate your guitar was built in 1981
Please post a more specific question. Serial numbers are on hundreds of thousands of different items from banknotes to iPods.
You can see the serial number on a Gibson, on the inside of the guitar.

A Gibson's serial number is on the back of the headstock.
To determine the age of a Gibson J-50 guitar, you'll need to look at its serial number, which is typically located inside the body of the guitar. Gibson's serial numbers can provide information about the year of manufacture, as they often include the year as part of the sequence. Generally, for guitars produced after 1989, the first digit of the serial number indicates the year. You can also consult Gibson's official resources or databases for more specific information related to your guitar's serial number.
Serial number says its a 1978 stamped on the 52nd day, the 508 means it was made in Nashville not Kalamzoo Mi.(YDDDY508 last 3 digits are factory -499 and under Kalamazoo, 500 and over Nashville) High value, sought after guitar but 70's were not the big money guitars. Mint $2500 maybe 3000. If you hold on it may rise as these are close to the end of Gibson USA production. Some wear won't hurt it, sometimes makes it more interesting to collectors.
The Gibson A2 mandolin with serial number 56370 was manufactured in 1922. Gibson's serial numbers from that era can often be traced to specific years, and records indicate that this number falls within that production period. For precise dating, consulting vintage instrument references or Gibson's official records can provide additional context.
well the serial number isn't there that you've got so my advice send Gibson an email and see what they say. They respond very quickly.
