Gibson 1961-1969 Custom SG reissues since 1997
YYRRRM
Y is the production year
RRR(R) indicates the guitar's place in production for that year.
M is the model being reissued
Reissue model codes:
1= SG Custom and Special
2= SG Standard
3= 1963 Firebird 1
4= 1964 Firebird III
5= 1965 Firebird V & VII
8= 1968 Les Paul Custom
So I think 737582 would mean the guitar was the 758th Custom SG Standard built in 1973. See this... http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Support/SerialNumberSearch/Default.aspx

I have a 1972 Gibson SG Custom Serial Number: 618408 the number 2 stamped just above the serial number. I would like to know what the 2 means, what is the date a place of manufacture of my guitar

Your guitar was made at the Kalamazoo Or Nashville Plant, USA. The '2' stamped above the serial number means it was originally a factory second, probably released in a clearance sale. It is impossible for me to estimate what it is worth without expert appraisal.

If you want that send photos (and a fee) to

Can you date gibson acoustic with serial number L-67913 should be LG-2

No, but you can try:

"Serial numbers can be extremely tricky," says Gibson Customer Service Manager Jason Davidson, whose team fields calls and emails regarding every Gibson division. "Some can tell you a lot about a guitar, and some don't really tell you anything. Gibson has had so many different schemes over the years, and now we're using reissue serial numbers that look like the old serial numbers."
