byron78 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi guys, I'm currently negotiating for an Epiphone Sheraton II guitar. The number that the seller provided me, looked a little strange. I tried the guitardaterproject site to identify the instrument, but without success. I have also looked at lot of articles, related the numbering and so on. But till now, I'm still confused, and even more. What I need is help in order to clear the mistery. The number of the guitar is 0812210279. Result from guitardater: Guitar Info Serial number unrecognized I assume it is a China made instrument in 2008. In some articles they say, that with the chinese guitars after 2004 it is sonfusing the recognition. But... When I tried to find the origins of the instrument, and I didn't succeeded, I asked the seller to send me picture of the number. Notice, that the instrument is Epiphone Sheraton II - Natural color. And I received a picture with serial 0812210279-VS. I assume "VS" stands for "Vintage sunburst". That makes the situation even more weird. I will appreciate any help and suggestions. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Made in December of 2008 in the Unsung China factory. Number 21 in the fifth & sixth digit position is the factory code for: UNSUNG - Made in KOREA. As for VS, that should indeed refer to vintage sunburst, so something does not quite seem to jive.
