I would like to know the birth day of my Luke I bought it new back in the 90s at A____M____ in Bellvue WA. Just not real sure when. This was my first real guitar that I actually put up my own money for from my first real job. I have played several thousands of gigs with it. It has been re-fretted twice and I just had it PLEK-ed again a few months ago. This guitar was built extremely well, the Floyd it came with is also a tank and stays in-tune despite the abuse it takes. It is the one of most versatile guitars that I have. Thanks for building a great guitar.
The Serial is 95242
Thanks,
David

Hi David..I will be honest i am new here too but if this is a 6 bolt on neck and no *G* in front of serial i was told by a guy that the first 2 numbers are the year. I know i had a 1990 Silhouette that Dan on here dated and i bought 4 years later from the guy that originally had the guitar and he told him the same thing i am telling you pretty much and that the guitar was a 1990 as the serial number said. But i could be wrong. If i'm right,then the guitar is a 1995..where it came from and all is what one of Ernie Balls customer reps tell you in the forum here. Just trying to help. Wish i knew the year of my steve morse model,still waiting.

Sys welcome to the Forum! and local at that! Congrats on your first Music Man guitar, you made a good choice, the Silo 20ths are nice. They are the first non-BFR guitar that we installed the mahogany tone block in. Yours was built on 06/30/06.

David, welcome to the Forum. Your Pearl Red Luke was built on 05/11/94 and was indeed sent to American Music in Seattle (it's OK to speak the name)

guitarace, just to let you know - there are always those who will try to crack the "code" of our serial numbers - but there really is and was no such thing except on the very earliest Silhouettes that had the numbers on the back of the headstock in the 80's and even that was not completely 100% with the year. By the time the 90's rolled around and we were stamping the serial numbers into the neck plates, there was no sort of attempt to keep the year in the serial number. Any time it happened was pure coincidence. We organized them by the type of guitar that it was - EVH's started with 8, and most other guitars with a 9. Basses used 2-5 on the first number of the serial number.

What is the serial number of your Steve Morse? So that we can tell you when it was built ....

Dan
