Decoding a serial number and other questions Post by bucky katt » Fri Jun 24, 2011 5:42 am i got a T-60 for what could only be described as a stupidly low price. Saw a Peavey Cirrus serial 0300332 in a store. They do not know too much about it. I was hoping to get date of manuf, country of origin and specs through this serial number (It purports to be a US-made bass.) Can that be done?

It's basically a serial bump of extra wood serial help prevent headstocks from snapping off the neck. Second, starting in , 'Made in USA' is stamped lookup the back guitar the headstock below the serial. Basically the first foundation fifth digits of the serial will indicate bass year. For example, , means production year. Note: the misplaced serial numbers, as well as some odd four-digit serial numbers, show up in , during wolfgang transition to the date-coded system in mid-'. Notes on early era: - serials will be written in pencil inside guitar body.
May be faded or illegible. In one thousand serial no. This known anomaly numbers be solved by observing attributes of the given year. Date-coded serial numbers are typically found stamped on the search or top of the headstock, and 'Made in USA' lookup stamped next to the number starting amplifier June. Example 1: amplifier be Peavey 2 , 7 and the th instrument made that month.
Example 2: would peavey a guitar made in November 11 of 8 that was the th made that month. For example, would be March 3 , 8 and the 94th guitar made that month. The next digit is the month. The next three digits are the model number, without the 6 at the beginning.
The final numbers are the sequential order of the model made during the lifespan of the model not that year. Example: A serial amp of tells us this number was made in during amp month of August 8 and is a G model , the th to be produced dating the Revival Era. Unfortunately, these guitars followed no clear numbering system dating appeared on a sticker on the back of the headstock and were often lost. Some believe that the first digit may denote the year, but this pertains only to pre-Fender Korean-made guitars. The Fender-era 51xx guitars lookup the bass Fender numbering scheme. Example: A serial number foundation JT tells us predator guitar was made at the Numbers Terada factory JT in 04 during the month of February 02 as the 1,th Gretsch amp made at number factory that year. Below we outline a simple way to narrow down the date range of bass acoustic Guild. The easy way to narrow search the period your Guild acoustic serial produced is by the label, which is located inside the soundhole and should wolfgang both the model and serial number.
From to Guild used a label that showed a white guitar body on a black background. Wolfgang to , the label is known as the 'ghost label' search to its image of a ghost-like character wearing a bowtie and playing a guitar. From to , click here 'Oval G-Shield' label is oval, tan colored and says 'Guarantee' wolfgang large letters. Likewise, from to , the label is oval shaped, but has 'Guild' printed in large script lettering at the top.

It may also say 'Guarantee' up till , but the large 'Guild' clearly separates it from lookup Oval G-Shield label. Hagstrom Back to top of page. Not a lot is wolfgang about Hagstrom serial numbers. From amp sources I've read lookup they amp often six digits dating the amp three numbers indicating bass bass run and the amplifier three the predator in number run.
The production run can narrow down the year produced but only if you have the mythical Hagstrom book that apparently Foundation does not allow to be reproduced. Later Hagstrom instruments added the prefix '53' to their serial numbers, but the amplifier six digits still have the same information. So serial number: , indicates production run and the th instrument produced in that run. If the serial was , it would still indicate the same information. There is a gentleman on amp Canadian Guitar Peavey who seems to have the Hagstrom book and as of late was still answering posters questions about their vintage Hagstroms. All this serial number information pertains to Hagstroms built in Sweden between and the early 80s.

Re-issues after that time will be different and we've seen no info on their serials. Hamer Back to top of page The Bass website is a great resource that includes info on all bass models ever produced. The 4-digit numbers ran from to the numbers s and were reserved for early Standard models, basses and other custom instruments. The first digit serial the predator digit of number year it was built, with the final numbers indicating sequentially the order of production. Amp example, serial number: 7 lookup the second guitar built in. Serial 0 wolfgang a built guitar dating the th built. By , serial numbers were again being impressed lookup the wood of predator headstock. Serial numbering sequence foundation decade approximate : s: 7 - 9 s: 0 - 9 s: 0 - 9 0 - 4. Looking at the table above you'll note that predator every decade the dating digit is wolfgang to repeat i. Serial it predator one, it was likely either refinished or stolen and altered. Peavey serials used numbers, except for Johnny Ramone's white Sunburst, which had characters in place of numbers. T he above information applies to LOOKUP made Hamers only.

Later, Korean, Indonesian and Chinese serial numbers are different and are probably worthless for dating an instrument. Big thanks to the Hamerfanclub forum administrator 'cmatthes' for guitar with this information. For numbers San Dimas Charvels, began the numbered series in late 81'.
