Printed on unobtainium, sadly.

I bought one at a guitar show about the time it came out, met Larry Meiners & had him sign it……….

This is really cool! Not only do you have a book with general Gibson shipments, but you also met Larry Meiners! This is a real trophy for a guitar fan! Unfortunately, I have little time for all this now. Although I even found someone to take my online course for me, there is https://edubirdie.com/take-my-online-class-for-me for this. It became a little easier with training after this, but still there is no time to read books. I would also like such a signature in my book, it makes it even more special and unique. I hope to do it someday.

Hello, I am not familiar with this book, what exactly does it tell you? Can you look up a specific serial number and get the actual date of its shipping out and to who or where? Thanks

It just shows how many guitars of a specific model were shipped each year up to 1979.

Sorry guys if the question maybe is in some kind of off topic. But I've recently read about the missing ledgers for the '59s and '60s bursts. Ok. But... what about modern production? Are they still running? For example, I got a 1998 Les Paul Standard, and I'm in Italy, is there any shipping ledger and, if it is, can be visible to me as owner from new (still got the receipt of when I bought it). Thanks in advance!
