Andreja Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have what seems to be a Historic ES355 ( no serial on the back of the headstok, no made in USA, no CS label). When I bought it it didnt came with the COA, is that correct? On the orange label there is the serial number. It says Nashville - made in USA. I suppose this one was made at Nashville CS in 01 - 02 before Memphis started to make semi solids. My question is: is there different orange labels now? on the Memphis orange label is there writen Memphis? Are the semis 335 style guitars still being made down in Nashville? all CS 335, 345, 355 are now made in Memphis? or there is still some ES 335 style being made in Nashville plant? Thanks in advance for clearing that out.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Historic 335s are made in Nashville, non-Historic 335s are made in Memphis. the orange label should be the same though. a Memphis made 335 will have an 8-digit serial number, a Nashville made Historic 335 will have a serial number that starts with "A" followed by 5 digits.

I saw on eBay somone seling a CS Historic ES355 and saying it made in Memphis, but no stamped 8 digit seriam number but a Orange label with B97xxx. So......?

Custom Admin Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 if the serial number has "B", it is a historic 355. again, all Memphis 335s, 345s, etc have 8 digit serial numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreja Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 how about the COA in 2001-2002? was it available with the Historic ES series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 we started shipping COAs as a general rule in 2001, so this guitar should have shipped with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
