To my knowledge there is no such designation.

Re: serial #

Pre-Fender Jacksons are kinda like AMF Harleys, just not as bad. lol

Any USA Select would fall under normal specs. Pre or Post Fender.

Custom Shop guitars can be whatever was requested when the order was placed.

I don't know the exact designations, but I know there was a 'breakpoint' between poplar and alder in USA Select guitars...sometime in the mid-'90s? And weren't most earlier customs (esp. neck-throughs) default poplar if another wood wasn't specified?

Re: serial #

Sure, just like different era guitars had different hardware, pickups and paint. Without a serial number or year or mfg it's a bit difficult to make any kind of determination...

Re: serial #

The third number from the end of the serial denotes wood type (Mahogany, Maple, Alder, Poplar, Ash, and Basswood), but only if it's the same orientation as the first number (even/odd) AND results in a number greater than 18 when multiplied by the 2nd number.
Other than that, it's anybody's guess.

Why, what guitar will you soon be listing on Ebay? We can probably help you figure out what it has on it.

Re: serial #

And no,it stays with me.The new ones seem a little lightweight,wood is different on the new ones,right?
