Default Dating Gibson's

Specifically, how do you date LP's?
Bought one off Ebay several years ago. I think it's a '92, not sure.
1992, wow that's like 13 yrs ago already.

If it has an eight digit serial number the first, and fifth digits are the year.

Example: 95672880, the nine and two would make it a '92.

1976, and before use six digit serial numbers and can be tough to decode. Serial numbers were repeated several times.

Dating Gibsons.... Personally, I never had much luck dating guys named Gibson... Always done better with guys named Paul. LOL.

If you go to Gibson Site they have a PDF file that tells you how to date all Gibson guitars--just run the search engine. I tried to find the page, but they seem to be doing some work on their site and the pages are not loading.
