Aoresteen Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just bought an Epiphone SG Special red from a pawn shop. Serial number is: 0808102171 translates to: 2008 August Factory code is 10. Anyone know which factory this is? It also has a MIC sticker so it's China somewhere. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoresteen Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I also looked at my black Epiphone SG Special from 1999. Serial number is RA99090431. What factory is RA ? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqishimie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Can anyone help me identify my Epiphone. Made in japan, but I do not know the year when it was produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
id_throwaway Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Not finding any info about the factory code on a 2002 Epiphone Les Paul I picked up on Craigslist. Guitar Dater Project says this: Serial No.: DC02090734 "Your guitar was made at the China, on September, 2002 Production Number: 734 " Weird how it can't tell me which factory, and the QuingDao factory in China didn't open until the following month (October) of 2002, according to an article published by Epiphone. Other details about the guitar: It had a factory "2nd" stamp above the serial no. and the "GIBSON" truss rod cover. I know that second thing could have been added later. Anything special about this guitar? It feels just like both current production Gibson Traditionals I tried out recently. Really great guitar.

quickfinger Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I've never had any definitive answer to where mine is from either. You are the first person I've come across around here who also has just a "J" in front of numbers. Mine is an Epi 1997 SG Jr. the # is J97100457. I know it's hard to make out. I have always wanted to know for sure where it's country of origin was as well. Anybody know? I am new here and have the same problem - and almost the same number too: J97100357 (It's a TV yellow SG Junior) - does anyone have new ideas? thanks.

melpi65 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Good evening, I would like to ask for a little help to recognize the following serial number: Belongs to a Epiphone Les Paul Junior Double cutaway: I suspect is a Japanese one but i'm not sure because i don't understand why isn't only J and i see an "I" after J. Year i think is 98, as i see in many pages appears to be information about year by numbers but not from where it is the guitar. I suspect Japan 98...but that I makes me crazy May you help me? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIch-rookie Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 The secret decoder ring is not working on my Guitar, Its an ES “Sheraton” here is a pic of thr “check list for the warranty card “ I thought I would add the information to help the data base grow , Its interesting that the date of the “check list” is 3 months ahead of the serial number... just adding to the confusion.

The data came from GuitarInsite I don't know where they got it from but good to have it posted again. But their engine correctly identified the SN like you did as being made by Samick in Korea 1994 ... Edited July 22, 2019 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
