Dating my Gibson RD Artist by serial numbers

by

Gibson has a section in their site dedicated to the identification and meanings behind their serial numbering system.

So my serial number is 72657067.
YDDDYPPP

YY is the production year
DDD is the day of the year
PPP is the plant designation and/or instrument rank

YY = 72657067 : 77 = 1977
DDD = 72657067 : 265 = ????
PPP = 72657067 : 067 = 67th made on that day

Can anyone help me in figuring out what the DDD is the day of the year is because it is just baffling me to know end! I took this quote directly from the Gibson website and it’s hard to follow.

Thanx in advance!

Keep on Jammin’





I think I found my new portable amp

by

I was just surfing on-line when I came across this little beauty!

I have a buddy at work who buys, repairs and sells antique gramophones so I just have to show him! Ten bucks says he has seen something like this in the past.

The company is from Chicago so next time I’m there to see my brother and his family I must go and see this thing. The companies name is Specimen Products.

Anyways, wouldn’t this be a great thing to have on stage playing somewhere? People, especially musicians, would be asking questions like there is no tomorrow.

Wonder if you have to mike it in the traditional way?

Keep on jammin’
