senseiblackburn Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hey everyone. I just got a Memphis ES 335 for Christmas(I have a great wife!!!! LOL) it has a 8 digit serial number....the serial would indicate that it was built in 2012 however the "Date" on the Pre-Pack Checklist that comes with the guitar is dated 8-28-2014. The whole thing has me puzzled. My serial is 12264709. I am also curious about the Model number as it is: ESDP14CHNH1. Can anyone help me make sense of all of this? thank you for your time and efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 . Memphis was still using the previous serial format - YDDDYRRR - so 12264709 was built in 2014 not 2012. Congrats on your new 335. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Bill Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 When I tried to register my LP Double Cut, the man on the phone told me that the serial# came back to an SG. A WHAT?? They finally caved after I offered to send photos of it. So hopefully it is indeed registered as an LPDC and NOT an SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 ... Can you shed light on the Model info ESDP14CHNH1? ... Kind of . . . a number in the middle of the model# is a bit rare. Based I what I know of other model numbers - ES - Electric Spanish guitar series DP - Dot markers with Plain/Painted top 14 - sometimes a number here indicates the neck type (6=60s), but seems Gibson Memphis has been putting a two digit model year in this position since 2014 CH - Cherry Heritage finish NH - Nickel Hardware 1 - right handed .

I got an old number from an LP DC - LPDCROCH1 - as you would expect - LP(Les Paul) DC(Double Cut) RO (ROot beer) CH(Chrome Hardware) . Is yours similar? .
