How Do You Know...

[JacksonDean]

... what/where/etc the guitar was made by the serial number? What's the formula?

My serial is 1054384, a black PS-4. What's the scoop?

[Sunbane]

No scoop. There is no way of telling, except country of manufacture. That serial doesn't look like a japanese one, so my guess is that yours is a Korean made Performer.

Well, RacerX was providing some info, but he says he's charging for it now.

DKMGT 9666921 anyone? What year? (MIJ)

[Sunbane]

Yeah, Ron has been collecting import serials into a long list, so he can estimate a production date from it. I'd guess at 2001 for your DKMGT. But for a MIJ guitar, there is one way to make sure: Take the neck off!

Ok, I think you got it. Thank you, Sunbane.

I finally found it in the audiozone.dk catalog scan (takes forever to find things there sometimes)...
Basswood flame maple top, EMG HZ's, turbo boost (3 knobs).
