I just picked up a "80's" Firebird (full story later) anyway the serial number a six digit, 249XXX. Anyone have an idea as to a date of manufacture. Thanks in advance.

An 80s Gibson should not have a 6 digit number like that. :ganz
Ok the guitar in question was apparently sold to someone as a "60's refin" but it most likely isn't. The neck through portion of the body is cherry and I can see where the white has chipped it is cherry. I'll get photos up later but honestly I don't really care. For what I paid for it as long as it wasn't made in someones garage I didn't take a bath, hell even if it was the guitar sounds and plays fantastic. I am just curious.
BTW I searched the serial number up and it came up as either a 64, 73, or 74. I don't know...
No it was sold to someone as a 60's refin and then found out it was an 80's model who then sold it to Mark's who then sold it to me as such (I appologize in advance if the person who bought it was a forum member). Other than that I really don't know much about it.
