Serial Numbers : What is the production date of my guitar?

Albert Lee sn: G62658
Thanks

Thanks. The headstock says both Ernie Ball and "StingRay" (as opposed to "StringRay Bass") so I was thinking it might not be that early. Maybe it's a later model with a pre-EB bridge? I'll get the neck off today and see what I can see.

Ernie Ball took over Music Man in 1984. The serial number database came into existence around late 1987/early 1988 so there are about 3-4 years of Ernie Ball instruments that were built before we began keeping records of instruments. I linked you to the early Ernie Ball page of that site. It's a great site, but doesn't have every serial. It's more just to compare to similar serials. Checking the neck pocket/heel may give you an idea as well.

I would like to know DOB for Silhouette with serial number 91546.

This Silhouette was completed on March 28th, 1991. The color is Trans Red with the Rosewood fretboard.

Axis Super Sport serial number G11346

Thank You !!

This Axis Super Sport was completed on August 22nd, 2000. The color is Black Sparkle with the Rosewood fretboard & matching headstock.

Did you try the SN tool?

Nope. I was a doof and didn't read anything.
I do have one question...I just tried a serial number that I was told was on the back of a Axis but it didn't return anything.

A80088 - Is this even a good serial number?

 

[beej]

Yeah, that just hangs for me as well.

I would email [email protected] and ask them about it.

 

[cvballa008]

When I type mine in, it just says error

The S/N tool only works for Music Man Instruments. For Sterling, which is a separate company, you have to contact them directly.
