Rhoads RR5

[rdamaral]

I recently bought an ivory and gold RR5, and have been trying to do some research on it. The serial number is C62155.

I contacted Fender, and they said "Strange. The guitar looks legit but that SN doesn't match up with Chushin #s. This may be from a pilot or proto run. It also may be a small batch that later became a production model."

Does anyone have any ideas about this guitar?

Pics of the whole guitar and serial number might help.

ugh, dont make me try and post a pic, lol

Looks like a zero and not a C.

[rdamaral]

Even if it was a zero, shouldn't it have a letter before it? Would it make sense to start with a zero with those digits?

[toejam]

No, a zero with five numbers after it would be correct.

lol, ok then what is up with this guitar? Any ideas?

What's up? You didn't GTWGITS, that's what's up

No seriously, it's a 2006 Made In Japan RR5 like I said in my PMed answer. Enjoy.

Thanks!

Where did you get that info? All I can find is product codes up to 2001.

The second digit in MIJ neck-thru imports, in this case a "6", denotes the year made. So it would be 200"6".
