Hi there,
A few days ago I played a GREAT 50th anniversary '59 335 VOS (natural), but the guitar had NO serial number anywhere! It was a custom shop Gibson, for sure, a new one, and it DID have the custom shop logo on the back of the headstock. But NO serial number...not on the back of the headstock and not in the body. No labels/stickers, no numbers, NOTHING! The shop-crew also checked but couldn't find it. I wanted to buy the guitar but now I'm in doubt...if I ever want to sell it...mmm...tricky. The case and everything was there, certificate, etc...
Anyone else who's seen this? My guess is they forgot to put the orange label in there or it just fell off somewhere along the trip...:hmm
