Dating a gibson

Hi, This is long shot but I was told someone on this site might be able to help me put a date on my Gibson Les Paul ( once gold top, now wood finish) I tried to find out on Gibson site and a few others, but got down the list as far as 1968 which had numbers 970000-972864 there was then a gap to the 1970s when there was a totally different numbering system.The number on the back of my head stock is 978047, so assuming it is 1969 but wondering why there is no mention of that number or year. Much obliged for any help. Steve
Hi, again. It wasnt vintage when I stripped it in 1972. It's only now that I realise what a complete numpty I was. Thanks for all your help anyway. I found a guy who runs www.latesixtieslespauls.com who was a great help, dated it early 68.
