2013.
Pot code is 17th week of 2013.
2013's are very nice. I have several.
I am looking at buying a used R8. The serial number is 831271 and the pot code is 430-71100 1317. I know the serial numbers repeat every 10 years so that’s not much help. Does 1317 make it a 2013?
Thanks for the help
Just in case the pots got switched, the easiest way would be to look at the truss rod cover. If the bottom is butted up against the nut, it'd be a 2003. If it's raised up a bit, it'd be a 2013. They moved it up in the mid 2000's.
I have a R8. When I spoke with Gibson they said it was either a 1996 or a 2006 they couldn’t verify given the serial numbers I gave. What’s up with that?

I did talk with a representative unfortunately he wasn’t much help when I supplied the necessary information he requested.Why not just contact Gibson Support and ask them? They have always answered my queries. They will need to see pics of the guitar including the serial no
