RUSHian Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I was registering my new Buckethead LP Studio on line this morning and I noticed the date (year) on the quality check list says 10/25/10 on the back of the headstock it says 2011? Did the guy just write the wrong year on the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 . Does the serial number on the checklist match the one on the Guitar? If it does, that's pretty strange. If it doesn't, there was a case mix up, which sometimes happens at the retailer. I bought a Gibson Custom guitar from GC once. Gibson had tagged the handle of the case with the serial number. I checked it against the guitar - it didn't match. When I looked inside, no COA. I sent them digging through their back room. Fortunately they found the right case with the correct Checklist and COA (I got lucky - they hadn't given my case to someone else). . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Box was sealed by Gibson (so it says)- I'll have to double check the serial # - 2010 they would have used rosewood, not baked maple on the neck.

Dg77 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 My dates were different as well, the serial numbers Match but the card is dated Sept with a serial number dated in July. Got mine from GCs distribution center in a sealed Gibson box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHian Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Update: Serial number does match- stamp says Made in USA, 2011- Quality checklist says 2010? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 . The date on the card can be after the date-stamp/serial#. But the card date should not be before the manufacture date-stamp/serial#. Strange to say the least. Maybe the inspector filling it out put in the wrong year. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
