Please note that the chart above only refers to USA models. Those serials have nothing to do with the models that are being made overseas.
* USA models have four digit serials (preceded by one or two letters), like the chart says. USA Neck-through models have the serial stamped into the fretboard, while most USA bolt-ons have it etched into the neck plate.
Jackson guitars with longer serials were either made in Japan, India or Korea:
* All _neck through_ Jackson imports were made in Japan, and have a six digit serial stamped into the fretboard behind the last fret. Some claim that the first digit indicates what year it was made (2 for 92, etc), but that information is quite unreliable.
* The Japanese bolt-on model Jacksons have 7 digit serial numbers, starting with 9. The serial is stamped into the neck plate, unless it's a plate-less model (Kelly) - in which case the serial is on a sticker on the back of the headstock. There is no known way to determine the year of manufacture of a bolt-on import Jackson, except by comparing its features to old catalogues.
* Bolt-on Jacksons with 8 or 9 digit serials were made in either India or Korea. These serials start with 1 or 0 and can usually be found on the neck plate. The production in Korea was only during a limited time, and I think only the "Performer" line was made there, before they moved it to Japan. So most of the guitars whose serials match these criteria were probably built in India.
* If the neck plate has an address that says "San Dimas" or "Ontario", it comes from a USA built guitar.
* If the neck plate says "Ft. Worth", it's a Japanese built guitar. While the factory was in Japan, the office was in Ft. Worth, Texas. The first year for these was 1986, when the Japanese factory was established. There are no earlier import Jacksons/Charvels than that. The more recent Jackson/Charvel imports don't have any address at all on the neck plate.
No neck-through Jackson ever had the serial number on the headstock - nor a five digit serial.
Edit, perkele kun en lukenut aloitusta kunnolla. Ikäkysymykseen en osaa sanoa juuta enkä jaata. |
Sarjanumeron perusteella en osaa sanoa, mutta osassa omista Jacksoneista (KSXT, KB1, RR-X ja jokunen muu) Niistä on löytynyt vuosiluku (omani on Japanista 90-luvun puolelta ollut) ja kitaran malli yms. Se on siihen runkoon tussilla raapaistu kun irroittaa kaulan. Likkeessä se on vähän hankalaa kun siellä tuskin pääsee irroittelemaan sitä kaulaa;)
Jos joku sattuu löytämään jotain lukuja, voisitko vaikka pistää jotain tietoa mistä kitaroista on löytynyt, ihan mielen kiinnosta haluaisin tietää!!!! |
