Hey all.

 

I have joe pass with serial number 99080167

 

When I put the number through the serial number finder it comes up as being made in Korea in August 1999

 

I am trying to verify it is legit before I try and sell it. I am a bit confused because, from what I understand, there should be a letter before the serial number to determine the factory and country of origin. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Yes, August 1999. Not all of them had a letter prefix. I dont know what the criteria was to determine whether or not it received a factory designation, but some were just numbers. I'm pretty sure anything without a factory designation was Samick, Korea...but there could be others.

Yes, Samick Korea. In 1999 Samick was the only factory making the Joe Pass model, so no letter designation was needed.
