Gibson Les Paul Serial No Check

Interesting. I guess I had assumed that they only made less than 999 R8s in 2001 but that is obviously not the case.
So my 2011 R8 which has a serial number say 8 11234 (234th made in 2011 could potentially have the same serial number as the 1234th R8 made in 2001?
Sounds odd but perhaps true.

S/N 811234 will be the 1234th R8 guitar made regardless of whether it was made in 2001 or 2011.
The convention is always;
Year
Model
Sequence
Sequence
Sequence
Sequence (If more than 999 made)
The Year and the Model are always only one digit.
