If your guitar was built prior to 1984, or has lost its serial number sticker, the only other way to date your guitar is by looking for a date ink-stamped on the side of the original box switch. Being a sticker, many are ripped off or wear off over the years.

It is commonly found on Mastercaster Series models, among others. The significance of this format is unknown. Many guitars made around 1985 have a serial number with the format: In 1988, occasionally the format was YYMMPPPPP because of high production volume.Įxample: 880510504 = 10,504th guitar made in May of 1988 Samick first started using serial numbers on Hondos and other contract brands in 1984 (their home brand models did not use serials until ~1987), using the following format:Įxample: 8030768 = 768th guitar made in March of 1988 Only registered users and moderators may post messages here.Earliest known serial number, June 1984 (production number faded away). I suppose there's no mention of price in the catalog? if not no big deal. Excellent clean sounds though the distortion could use some work, thinking of maybe changing one out for a dimarzio super distort. Wish i knew more about the pickups as i love the sounds i can get out of them. sounds like it's the 170 as it has no pickgaurd and the dot inlays. Oh yeah, sounds like one of your trem posts has wallered out the hole. Funny, the EX Series basses (EXB) lasted longer than the guitars ('95). Then discontinued when the RX Series was introduced in '94. The EX Series was expanded for '92 and '93. Trem is either a "traditional" 2 point, or the Floyd Rode licensed TRS. 370, no pickguard, triangle inlays.Īll used basswood bodies, maple necks, and rosewood fretboards w/22 frets. The hum/sing/hum setup could be one of three models: EX170, 350, or 370. First mention of the EX Series is in the '89 catalog. Also, i'm thinking of replacing the bridge system seeing as how the chrome was peeling but one of the bolts is at a funny angle.should i just use the wooden dowel technique to straighten it out or is there a reason for it to be like that? Thanks road, i appreciate it and i'll be checking back for the info. $50 is a damned good deal even if it has some issues. I don't have my catalogs here with me, but I'll research your ax tonight. The EX Series replaced the lower RG Series models for a few years. Thanks for the date.how much did the ex's price at in '93? are they just a lower model like today's gio's?

I do have a '93 that shows the EX models. The number would indicate a 1991 manufacture date. Only paid 50 bucks for it in decent condition at the local mister money though the trem system looks like crap. Has dark blueish-almost purple body with two humbuckers and a single coil.a volume knob and what i assume is a tone knob though is sounds like no tone adjustment i've ever heard (sounds almost like opening a wah pedal).
