can someone give me the DOB of my Silhouette?

Serial number is 91456

Again, why all the concern for build date? I don't see why it matters...

It's fun. Its simple and it's a way to get yourself started on the fourm. I love talking about my guitars and hearing about yours too. What cha got?

Ebb, we do it just to p*ss ya off.

Nah, seriously, IMHO, I think it's good to know the history of your instrument, everything from when it was built to the way that it was handled by a previous owner (if bought used).

Just my take!

reason

Whenever you sell a guitar buyers always want to know the year of manufacture. I don't know why. Not being the original owner I didn't know. I called Ernie Ball and they were very helpful.

In the case of most guitars, year of manufacture can tell you a number of things about the hardware and design of the model you're buying... Older Silhouette Specials, for example, might have a Wilkinson trem instead of a MM Vintage, or Schaller pickups instead of Dimarzios. Some of the Axis from the late '90s may still have the counter-sunk neck plate, while the newer ones do not. And the earlier Lukes have Floyds where the new ones use the Vintage trem... Knowing when a guitar was made can tell you a lot before you even see a pic...

...that being said, I personally just like to know. It makes no difference in the end, but I'm curious
