GIBSON PRODUCTION MODELS CODES & SHIPMENT TOTALS

For ease in identifying current Gibson production guitar models in this section, the Gibson Family Code/SKU may follow the modelĀ“s name in parentheses (in some cases, only the alphabetical prefix is listed, as the individual finishes and/or colors will result in the rest of the code). This also is true when brackets[] are encountered within a family code.
For anyone who is interested in individual Gibson model production totals from 1937 to 1979 (including guitars, basses, artist models, custom models, mandolins, banjos, ukuleles, steel guitars, effects, and amps), we recommend that you read Gibson Shipment Totals 1937-1979 by Larry Meiners.
Gibson acoustic archtop models that include "floating" pickups or built-in acoustic/electric pickups are listed in the acoustic electric category at the end of the Gibson section.
