GIBSON ACOUSTIC SERIALIZATION 1 GIBSON SERIAL NUMBERS GIBSON ACOUSTIC SERIALIZATION,SERIALIZATION cont. Identifying Gibson instruments by serial number is tricky at best, and APPROX. LAST # YEAR downright impossible in some cases. The best method of identifying 13350 1912 them is to use a combination of the serial number, the factory order 16100 1913 number and any features that are particular to a specific time (i.e. logo 20150 1914 design change, headstock volutes, etc). 25150 1915 In addition to the above serial number information, Gibson also used 32000 1916 Factory Order Numbers (FON) to track batches of instruments being produced at the time. In the earlier years at Gibson, guitars were nor- 39500 1917 mally built in batches of forty instruments.
