Gibson Banjo Serial Number Identification 2012

Index to Vintage Gibson Banjo Serial Number Information. Here you will find the Pre-War serial numbers divided into 3 groups, starting with serial number 8000 in 1925. Note: Date ranges listed here are approximate, as the batch numbers were many times used out of sequence. You can tell a lot by noting the actual ship-dates where they are. Putting all of the information together, an example of a Epiphone serial number could be F0508384. Breaking it down, this serial number would mean the guitar was made in FujiGen, Japan in August of 2005, and it was the 384th guitar made in that model. Or it might be an eight-digit serial number that indicates it was built on the 700th day of the year. In a case like that, we’re clearly dealing with a fake guitar.” Davidson is referring to Gibson’s system—in effect since 1977—of including a guitar’s build date within the serial number sequence. The Gibson banjo has had a strong legacy with bluegrass musicians. It seems that when you attend a bluegrass festival or convention, mostly what you seen are Gibson banjos or Gibson look a like banjos. There are many Gibson look a like banjos. Many built by very good builders, and some have the Gibson logo and some have the builder’s name.

1. Ranking number (when the guitar was built in the run of 40). The F O N is the only identification number. On Gibson’s lower grade models (like the ES-125, ES-140, J-160E, etc.) which do not feature a paper label. Higher grade models (such as the Super 400, L-5, J-200, etc.) feature both a serial number and a F O N.
2. Hello everybody / I have a friend with an old Gibson Banjo / Serial # 920-33 / Flattop guitars is my gift in information and playing music / don't know much about Banjo's. I found a Gibson Banjo on line with a serial number #920-34 and it was a 1949 so my friends Banjo might be a 49 or older.
3. Ever since, the pre-war Gibson Flathead banjo has been THE axe of choice for the bluegrass banjo player. It is my goal to provide a resource for people interested in the history of vintage banjos and also the re-creation of that desired 'old' banjo tone, focusing on recordings of various banjos with different components and setups.

Hello! I have in my possession a Gibson 5 string banjo that I have been playing for the past 6 months or so. It is a great instrument, my first stringed anything, and I'm really enjoying playing it. However, I know little to nothing about it! I'd really like to know more.

What I do know is mostly anecdotal. I received it from a friend, it belonged to his late grandfather. It is to some extent 'custom' (his words). At one point, he was offered $6k for it, which he supposedly 'laughed at.' Other than that I know nothing more. Ocean of games assassin creed 2.

Here are photos of it. The serial number is 907-4, which I was unable to find a match for. There are two tone rods, and the thing weighs a ton (from the thick rim, I presume).

Does anyone know anything about this banjo? It is a mystery to me, but I greatly enjoy playing it. Knowing some more about it would just be nice.
