Gibson Serial Number -

Actually Gibson confirms: 2005-2014: YDDDYRRR where Y is last digit of year, and fifth digit is same Y. So year is 197Y, 198Y, 199Y, 200Y.

Let me give correct Gibson example: 90123345 Digit1=9 (1979 or 1989) Digit5=9 (matches) 012 = Jan 12 345 = unit 345. Same format, but first digit and fifth digit both same number. Example: 91234567 = 2009? No — 91234567: digit1=9, digit5=6? Mismatch. So invalid. gibson serial number
