turtle Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I know that but I want a way to find the year of production by looking at it. 9 71234 example would mean r9 7- is that the year of production or is it in the following 4 numbers. If the les paula are from 1-2 years old I'd try to negotiate a little. That's all. Thanks for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Did you even bother looking at that link?? M YRRR or MYRRRR M is the model year being reissued Y is the production year RRR® indicates the guitar's place production for that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
