reversed S/N

From 3fingers on 1/31/2011 6:54:17 AM

Hey mike You mentioned in a earlier post your s/n was reversed 75-0304-04 as it was made in March of 2004. My 75 is also reversed as it was made in Feb. of 2009. Its 75-0209-05V. Are there many of these out there?  Maybe this is a question to post in the forums and see what kind of responce we get.

Maybe the person in charge of the regular stamping was off that day and the substitute did not know the year month protocol? I would use month year if it were me because that is how I think... month, day, year. It would be easy to get confused and once you stamp the wrong number your committed to the mistake. I believe there are others out there like ours. One could check the inspection card that came with the banjo if still available. This might cause some confusion down the road.

Mike I looked at my paperwork and the cetificate of authenticity and the brown pamphlett both say 75-0209-05.
Now they do not have the V on them like what is stamped in the rim and I checked on the other RB75VL's I knew of and they are all 75-0209-banjo number. Does anyone know anyone that was at Gibson in the OAI dept. that might know whats going on?
