Really? That's strange. I thought the "05" indicated it was made in 2005... If there's really only 1 digit for year, then how will anyone be able to tell the difference between a guitar made in 2010 and one made in 2020 (both 0)? Or the difference between one made in 2001 and 20011 (both 1)? Richard

I just bought an ES-330 (Custom Shop), serial number CS052851. According to your serial number page, the Custom Shop serial number format is CSYRRRR: CS stands for "Custom Shop" Y indicates the production year RRRR indicates the guitar's place in the sequence of production So, going by that format, my serial number has an extra number. Is the Y sometimes YY? Or is my serial number a fake? Thanks richard
