Start with serial numbers:

Then move to the craftsmanship:

You'll find even gibson can struggle with identity, but passing these first 2 tests is a big plus!

Great project. Question: 1 pickup but 3 pots? Why?

Hi Sebastian,

It's 3 stacked pots for a filter type pre amp, a bit like Alembic or Wal basses.
There should be a 4th one for passive tone but I didn't install it.

1 : Volume / Blend (dont use blend since it's a single pickup)
2 : Low pass filter / Amount
3 : High pass filter / Amount
