DeadBeat Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hello! Here's a little puzzle I'm currently trying to work out. I own 2 Flamekats..but they are different. 1 has a serial number on the headstock and one doesn't. The one that doesn't has the serial number on a sticker visible through the F hole. I'll upload some pics. Any help in identifying them etc is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadBeat Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 You know...some days I really am stupid..I've had a Photobucket account for 12 years, lol guitar two spoke to Gibson today who say guitar 1 is probably made 2000 and 2 in 2003...but the guy was really vague and kept confusing it with a Wildkat. I'd say machineheads on guit one definitely replaced with Gibson ones, just as it's Bigsby has been replaced with a Deusenberg bigsby... So, any help in proper dating? Country of Make etc? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadBeat Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Here you go for guitar 2 Your guitar was made at the Unsung Plant, Korea July 2003 Production Number: 2225 Thanks for that...I'd hazard a guess that the other is a 2000 then based on the serial. I have also noted that the tuners on the "2000" are stock and not replaced. So, we also now know that in later models they used Grover tuners as well as replacing the Bigsby.
