Something fishy going on? There was a thread started a couple of days ago about someone's (Summerisle's?) theory about Epiphone's new SN schema. Wa happened?

It was called something like "help, my serial number is totally whack..." Seems to have vanished though...:-

 

Anyway, my theory received some development courtesy of other members...

 

It goes something like this:

 

15 = Qingdao (electric)

16 = Qingdao (acoustic)

20 or 12 = DeaWon? or Unsung China? (still not sure which number corresponds to which factory)

21= Unsung, Korea

[i = Indonesia]

 

See for example, this Les Paul:

 

08081510375-serial-l.jpg

 

0808 = August 2008, followed by "15" for Qingdao

 

Or this new (Korean, interestingly enough) Sheraton (Serial #0812210302)

 

0812210302-inspectedby-l.jpg

 

December 2008, Unsung Korea.

 

Like I said, just a theory...but it seems to work...
