OLYMPIA TAKOMA OD-5 ACOUSTIC GUITAR WITH CASEThis is going to be a great guitar for anybody from a student to a Gigging Musician. Needs new strings. I`ll put a set on when it sells. It does have one chip in the finish at the top corner of the headstock. Also has a couple of dings on the front. Please check the pictures. I tried to show every imperfection.
Gibson Guitar Serial Number Lookup
Someone recently shared a link to a 2011 UBGF post, which recapped some of the SN#s up to that point. But I can't find any direct logic for recent SN#s.
For example, I just checked my Eastman acoustic guitars - listed in the order purchased, year matches the certificate date:
E40D (2016) is 1465xxxx
E40OM (2017) is 1375xxxx
ACTG1 (2017) is 1655xxxx
E20OMSB (2017) is 1365xxxx
E20D (2017) is 1375xxxx
E40D (2017) is 1375xxxx
With the exception of the travel guitar, all of the SN begin with 13 or 14. But of those, my oldest guitar has the highest SN (1465xxxx). I'll edit this post later with exact certificate dates. The third digit *almost* ties to the year --- if I assume the E20OM was assigned in 2016, but not given a certificate until April 2017 (and again, the travel guitar outlier).
If others want to post their model, SN#, and certificate date here... then maybe we can figure out a pattern. In the meantime, maybe I'll email Eastman for more insight. I'll find that UBGF post and copy the contents here for easy reference.
Also, I posted this in the Acoustic section b/c I don't own any Eastman electric guitars (yet!) to confirm if the SN batches are the same. We can move this to General Chatter, if we want to tackle electric SNs here, as well.
