![]() ![]() Not trying to be a now it all here just want you to know what year your banjo was made since you did ask. If you post a photo here I'm sure your tenor banjo will meet all of the specs of a 70's Gibson tenor and none of the specs of a 60's Gibson tenor. You can tell "they" that "they" need to get a new guide or reading glasses if they can't see the fine print numbers. Although each new year did not precisely mark a change in the numbering system, the following chart will serve as a close guide to Gibson’s early serial numbers (for banjos) and their approximate date: 1925.8,000 1926.8,350 1927.8,600 1928.8,800 1929.9,000 1930.9,200 1931.9,400 1932.9,600 1933. Your banjo was made during one of those 5 years and that's the best anyone can narrow it down. There is no 616XXX in either of those listings. As I stated before Gibson did not have any 616XXX numbers in the 60's They did have them in the 70's. I don't know who "They" are but "They" are wrong in telling you 1968. ![]()
