Can Anyone Help Me Identify A Gibso Serial Number 142130 ?
Thank You In Advance!

Learn how to post photos......
142130 would put it in the pre-Mastertone era but, without any way to see it, we have no idea what model it is. I couldn't find that number in any of my usual sources. With pictures, we could see what features it has and make a better identification.
A 6 digit number with no dashes or spaces corresponds to 1961 through 1975.
Gibson's use of numbers during that period was haphazard. Many numbers were used more than once.
142130 would indicate 1963, or any year from 1970 through 1975.
If it has a "made in USA" stamp beneath the serial number, it is from the 70's.
Can't say anymore without pics.

Good catch, Bob. I didn't think about it being in the sixties or seventies.
