H is the funniest H7 is Terrada a comapy in Nagoya Japan that makes mostly Gretsch guitars, This was a disaster and they made H7 for 3 years on the serial numbers, H must have ment for Hoshino.ДЄcoustics with a 2 like 2940000 are Cort Taejan factory because they did not have a Letter on the stamp, I asked them to do that. I is Idda Gakki they made some AR300 models in the mid 1980's after Fuji stopped making set necks. P Peerless factory in Pusan Korea, Owned and controlled by IIDA Gakki in Japan they made the Nomad series and AE and other acoustics like the Charleston. Y is actually yoojin Korean Factory this was made in Korea (RG140,RG240,RG340) They also made the first Korean acoustic's. So S was samick in 1990 to 1995, S is now Sejan, Sung-Eum is E because S was used by Samick. This looks like a great site with a good group of people.I am looking forward to learning more about my favorite guitars and plan to search this site indepth.ДЇ7 Means 1987 in 1997 they added F 97 and the CE designation. Thanks Johns for warm welcome and the help. That would be a February 1981 build date.

Good to have you with us! Your serial number is an easy one, so I'll jump in and help the Captain. 'B814869 made in japan' is what it says on the neck plate. This serial is off my destroyer 2, have no idea what year or anything it was made, can someone help me ? Here's one I'd like to have your opinion on: These are the factory codes as I got them years ago from JD: Interesting diferences between my data and what the Cap'n has presented. Still don't know what the 'P' stands for! I have seen several of these on Korean built models from 1987. I didn't see any reference to a 'P' factory prefix. These years should be 1987 to 19 to 1986. '1984 to 1996 example serial number F232104Д 358= 358th guitar built for that month. The Artstar factory was the Tendura factory and I was hoping that Lt Commander Roadster was going to join the dots here.but he is probably busy in the engine room fiddling with the warp drive The Sung Eum story will be revealed a bit later.have to do some home work, but I'm glad you find this info useful as I'm sure all at ICW will.

John, the 84 85 etc models etc where actually still the same system from prior to 1984, I strongly beleive that the newer serial number sytem did not take full effect until 1990 but that between you and me. Thanks once again for the great job you've done. etc.?Д¬an you tell us about the Sung Eum Factory? This is a Japanese plant? Also, what kind of guitars were made there and what years? The example number looks like there would only be valid numbers from E0 (1990) thru E9 (1999). Or does it work that F4 = '84 and F94 = '94. In the Japanese built, 1984 to 1996 section, how would you distinquish an '84, '85 or '86 from a '94, '95 or '96 if only the last digit of the year is used. I hope this is useful to all our new fellow Ibaneezer's who have joined the collective as of late. If you have anything else please put it here so we can keep a uniform thread to be used by all as good reference guide. So there it is peeps, this brings you up to date,if there is other stuff I have left out which I'm sure I might have like the Artstar Jazz Boxes with the H starting serial number.Lt Commander Roadster please fill in the missing blanks here

X=October.but wait it goes like this for the build monthsДў149= 2149th guitar built for that month. So 00001 to 49999 are Acoustic Guitars, 50000 to 99999 are electric guitars and electric bassesДЄll 3 factories use the same serial number system These other factories follow the same serial number pattern as the Cort Korean factory. Saehan Factory: acoustics start with SQ, electrics start with S So an example here is for a recent model with a Serial number F0330210 = Fujigen 2003 June 210th guitar built.ДЎ984 to 1996 example serial number F232104Дў104 guitar built for that month 2104th madeД¬ort Factory Acoustics and Electrics start with C OK it goes like this.starting with Japanese built guitars: I hope this list will be a useful one to all at ICW.
