So yes, we also got G2 and G3 numbers over time.
GUITAR SERIAL NUMBER LOOKUP SERIAL NUMBERS
Maybe CMG changed the serial number system also for GREE, hence GREE made Guild Acoustics from some point in 2017 onwards simply with G and 6 numbers behind, same as California made Guilds use C with 6 numbers.īut that last theory does not work as actual serial numbers in stores from 20 still (or again) have G1, G2 and G3 serial numbers. My theory regarding this was: The new California produced 2017 guitars have serial numbers like C170815 (a D-20 as example).

In any case the 17 stands again for year 2017. In 2017 it shortly got really confusing as a 2017 made D-120 and a F-1512E had no longer a 1 after the G ! They only had G and 6 numbers afterwards!Īn example serial number is simply G 170122 or the pictured G 170693. The below is a GREE hangtag (note the GR around) from a 2013 made GAD model and Moritz and Big-Al confirmed that the same style hangtag with GR border was on G1 serial numbered Westerly Collection models from 2015. The "G1" guitars have GREE hangtags like the GAD guitars had. (Update: In 20 the G2 numbers have 5 digits at the end allowing 99,999 per year.) It looks like: 8 digit serial number, always starts with G1 = Guild China, 15 is manufacturing year, the last 4 digits are the running numbers for a max of 9,999 Guild Westerly Collection guitars per year from China. (thats a good goal for the custom shop!)Īnd now to compare: Guild Westerly Collection: (3 real 2015 serial numbers posted below) It looks like: 8 digit serial number, starts with 8 = Oxnard, 13 or 15 is manufacturing year, the last 5 digits are the running numbers for a max of 99,999 guitars per year. I also found real serial numbers of an Oxnard made Cordoba Torres and a Hauser model: 81300055, 81500363 It looks like: 8 digit serial number, always starts with 1 = China, 11 or 13 of 15 is manufacturing year, the last 5 digits are the running numbers for a max of 99,999 guitars per year from China. It looks like: 7 digit serial number, always starts with 3 = Spain, 11 or 14 of 15 is manufacturing year, the last 4 digits are the running numbers for a max of 9,999 guitars per year from Spain.Ĭordoba brand guitars Made in China: (4 real serial numbers posted below) O.k, now I looked at Cordoba Guitars serial numbers:Ĭordoba brand guitars Made in Spain: (4 real serial numbers posted below) According to the Cordoba Guitars webpage, the following instruments are not serialized: CP110, C3M, C3M Cadete, Cadete, Dolce, C5, C5-CE, C5-CET, the La Playa Traveler and Ukulele, and all ukuleles except for the 25 series. The lower end Cordoba instruments do not even have a serial number. To better understand this I first researched Cordoba Guitars serial numbers. O.k., it's not really a final decoder yet but I started to wonder what the new Westerly Collection serial numbers mean.
