Jocko Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hello everyone. I have just found this forum. Why, with two Epiphones, it has taken me all this time to find you guys, I don't know! I have been playing guitar for about 47 years but have not improved any for the last 45! Just aquired more lady friends. I have a question someone may be able to help me with. I am unable to verify the PR-350's age as the serial number is not recognised anywhere I looked, but as I got it new at the end of the 80's and the serial number starts 880S............... would I be correct in assuming it was probably manufactured in 1988? Oh and should I replace the original strings it came with? Only kidding!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhanners623 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Welcome to the forum, and yes, replace those strings. But one word of warning: Don't try polishing an Epiphone with a Fender or Martin polishing cloth. (Just kidding, of course. I love to go to those big-box stores and ask the clerk if I can polish a Gibson with a Fender polishing cloth. I get the weirdest looks.) And if you've been playing 47 years, you've certainly learned a thing or two. You just don't realize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship of fools Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Are you sure about the date on that, the earliest one I found made was in 92, not that my info is completely accurate 100% of the time its the earliest one I have on file. Some pictures would be nice of the guitar and the soundhole label.Ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocko Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 I thought I was given it before Jan 91 but I could be mistaken. It could have been a little later. I have attached pics and it was only after I photographed label that I realised I has serial number wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thawk Dean Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Glad to see another PR350 owner/player. Mine is a PR350E and has a s/n of 1060210 and was told it was manufactured in 1991. I recently added an EL-00 to alleviate a case of GAS. I love playing BOTH of these. They are soooooo different in sound, playability, etc. If anyone can DATE your git it's SHIP. WELSOME, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
