ESP Dave Mustaine - ESP produced several guitars based on the custom models of Dave Mustaine until 2007, when he left the brand for Dean Guitars. The DV models lack a 24th fret inlay. The DV models lack a 24th fret inlay. Mar 13, 2008 The first letter is the factory the guitar was made in (W is the Korean factory). The next two digits are the year. Next two is the week in the year. Next one is the day in the week (i.e. And the rest of the digits is the number of the guitar that came off the assembly line.
I saw a guitar dying in a thrift shop. I didn't know anything about ESP LTD honestly speaking. I'm from a family that barely drift away from what we already know.
Until I pick this dying Viper-10. I was attracted to the 12 fret inlay that says VIPER-10 its my radio 'call sign' Viper and Ten-Ten is my nickname so when I saw VIPER-10 inlayed on the 12th fret i was compelled to pick it up and save it.
When i got home i tried to set it as it has few strings. So I gave it a new strings, Pick up height, Brigde, action, Intonation and all of that cometic polishing. Oh Boy oh boy!!! I plugged it to my Masrshall AVT Tribute amp and screamed like a Kraken. Now I'm looking at ESP LTD in a different way. Opengl version for intel gma 4500 graphics.
Can you please provide me with some more information about this orphan but soon to be a star.
Hey everyone! I thought it might be cool to have a thread which features links and info on how to track and date guitar serial numbers for different brands. I think it can be fun to know a little bit more about our instruments and try to dig up some history if possible. As I have never did this myself before, please help me compose a useful resource for everyone to use as a reference when they need to get more details on their guitars based on the serial number. Disclaimer: listed resources represent what I've found online.
The accuracy of data found there is not guaranteed, except for Fender which I've had chance testing with one of my basses. Let's add info for other brands, please do so by posting in this thread: [Brand] - [Link to information about serial numbers] Also, it would be cool to hear what you've found about your guitars by tracking the serial number and which of the listed methods for tracking serials are valid. These are good for dating amp potentiometers and speakers.
CIndy - thank you for the response - I am interested. I used to play in clubs years ago and a friend of mine owned a guitar store and loaned me guitars to play that were far better than the one I owned or could afford. K yairi guitars serial numbers. I know very little about classical guitars, I mostly play electric, so thanks in advance for your help.
'Pot codes' help identify and date Gibson guitars and some Fender amps where the serial numbers can fail you. *Gibson records were destroyed and/or lost during one period, hence there are some doubled ser #'s. Fender used parts bought as early as 1964 in huge bulk and used them through the mid and late 60s. And if anyone is interested in an encyclopedia of guitar features by date and model, George Gruhn's book is an absolute necessity.
