blingdogg Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I have an Epiphone SG G400, limited edition Korina, made in China. I bought it new from the store and I've been trying to find out what year it was made in, since it seems like this model was discontinued a few years ago. I don't know if I should put in the full serial number here, but it begins with: 1004151 Four more numbers are at the end... I searched the internet and used the dating resources but nothing comes up. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a number like: XXMMFF12345 YY year MM month FF factory-code 12345 production# FACTORY NUMBER CODES -- for some models starting in 2008, if serial # begins w/numbers 07120940 [NOTE: The factories identified by these codes are based on patterns which forum members have observed. The numbers appear as the 5th and sixth digits in the serial number.] 11 = MIC sticker on a '08 Masterbuilt 12 = DeaWon or Unsung (China -- uncertainty remains as to which factory) 15 = Qingdao (China) -- electric 16 = Qingdao (China) -- acoustic 17 = China - factory unknown MIC sticker on a J160E 18 = China - factory unknown found on one 2009 model bass 20 = DaeWon or Unsung (China -- uncertainty remains as to which factory) 21 = Unsung, Korea 22 = ??? Korea (factory still unknown) 23 = ??? Indonesia (factory still unknown, probably Samick,) I = Indonesia (this letter has appeared as the 5th digit on two authentic new models made in Indonesia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
