The first digit(s) represent the month of manufacture (1 - 12 for Jan - Dec). |
The next digit is the last digit of the year (6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2 for 1966 - 1972). |
The last three digits most likely represent production number (188 for the 188th guitar made that month). |
The digits before the hyphen represent the month (1 - 12). |
The first digit after the hyphen (or space) represents the last digit of the year (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1). |
The final three numbers represent the production number for that month. |
The first two digits are the year (i.e. 97 = 1997). |
The next digit(s) is the month (1 - 12). |
The next three digits are the model number, all within the resurrected G6000 Series (i.e. 120 = G6120). |
The numbers after the hyphen represent the production number during the run of the model, not for that month or year. |
