Lerxst1281733995 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I responded too hastily.. Missed the SN... (deleted my post) I don't recognize that serial number, but someone here might.. You got a picture of it? What model is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesstringer Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 The serial number doesn't check out. Can you give us any more information or a pic? What model is it, does it have any other identifying information, where was it made, something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazardz b4u Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Sadly, that's all I can offer. If the serial number can't be found, then there isn't much more we can do I don't have a picture of it, sorry. I don't have the make or model of the car you described, sorry boys. 'lurcative glance' peace out, thanks for the bash Hazardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazardz b4u Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 ok 'smilen' I looked up the serial number, nothing came back as being recognized. Its possible it was made in Japan. I'm doing some reading on that era, and they don't recognise guitars made from there. Perhaps this is why we can't find anything on this little electric. I have that bad headcold atm.. 'ick' I'm feeling awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
