Jason, G0 5061 should be 61st Guitar Center 1960 plain top made in 2005.

 

barret, that's actually the first one I've heard of with a 1 for the batch number.

 

The pattern is as follows:

YDDDYBRRR

YY is the production year

DDD is the day of the year

RRR is the factory ranking/plant designation number.

B is the batch number

 

I guess that's the 1,148 made on that particular day. Can that be right? Man, that's a lot of guitars for one day's work!

What is batch number?
