I have a Gibson Les Paul standard guitar that was left to me by my husband and need to get information on what year and color/type it is. I have found several sites on serial numbers but every one wants to charge me for it. Gibson is no help. Can you help me figure out what it is so I can figure out what it’s worth? Serial number 02381628. Thank you. Cat

Did a little research. I believe by your numbers it's a 1963. Hope that helps. Happy Strummin'
