  1. My newest acquisition is an Epiphone made by Samick in their Indonesian factory - where their Masterbilts are made now.
  2. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Good stuff. 713 necks in a day sounds like a lot, that guitar-dater site says Memphis does about 40 guitars a day, but maybe they just do necks for awhile and let them wait for bodies later, as you said. I was hoping it would be the 13th, or maybe the 113th, like Memphis started at the 600's, but 113 is still a lot more than 40. Makes sense that the necks are a different thing than the bodies. Really interesting though.
  3. Oh sorry, it's an ES-339. I guess I'm in the wrong forum, but this was all I found for serial numbers and I figured you would know more than anyone. Thanks.
  4. It's a 2013 model year, and only 8 digits: 12193713
  5. My "RRR" number is: "713" I understand that is the factory ranking/plant designation number, but does anybody know what 713 specifically means? One site said the Nashville Plant is "Gibson-USA" and pumps out about 220 guitars per day, while the Memphis Shop builds 40/day. Does 713 mean it was the 13th guitar built that day? Any help appreciated, thanks.
