Japan 6 & 7 digit Serial Numbers
What got me started was a curiosity of what the early (1966-71) Japan built FG 6 & 7 digit serial numbers meant.
• I’ve read the first digit in the serial number is the year, then a 2 digit month, 2 digits for the day, and the rest is a unit number. YMMDDUU??
• But many of the 6 & 7 digit serial numbers didn’t work with that system.
• I found the 6 & 7 digit serial numbers are sequential, and not related to date the guitars were built.
• This system is carried over from the previous Dynamic series.
• All the guitars they made shared the same number list.
• The 6 & 7 digit serial numbers are stamped on the neck block.
