Hi Pete.R

 

though my serial number makes no sense at all to you - I got it...take a look. It seems that somebody snapped off a little, but I didn't do this and I bought it brand-new.

 

do you have another idea how to decrypt this?

 

thanks and best regards.

Hi

Do you think it's fake because guitardater don't recognize the serial ?

 

your guitar was made....

 

10= year

10= month

23 = factory code, Samick plant Indonessia

01777 = production#

 

the serial# is legit, the guitar seems legit, too
