KV4=neckthrough=what Kevin (VoodooBoy) said earlier - neckthrough numbers designated the year - 2000 (or 2001?) for yours.

It also depends on the series... one of my Japanese Archtop Soloists is SN J000016. *!* [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I call that guitar Molly... it's a cherryburst finish, so Molly - redhead, sixteen candles... etc

Re: Japanese Serial Numbers

It tells me it has a six digit serial number. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I think the first two digits are the year followed by whatever number happened to be the next in line.

I choose to believe that they are random numbers picked from the phone book, just like in that Steve Martin movie, the Jerk!!

Re: Japanese Serial Numbers

Never heard of them.

My nick comes from my old stage name when I was a kid... a cross between Johnny Cash (country) and Darby Crash (70s punk singer).
