tayste_2000 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If a JV fender had the serial number JV99829 could someone tell me the exact date it was made? Or does it not work that way, I believe it's a 1984 but unsure how from the info I have other than these were 82-84 made. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 it will be written on the end of the neck if that helps. Late in the production though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 No idea how you could come up with a date for this if there's nothing penciled on the neck. That serial is very late though - something to be aware of is that some early SQ instruments received JV neck plates. Quite different beasts though.

tayste_2000 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I can confirm it's not an SQ, no skunk stripe and no truss cap in dark wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 According to guitar dater project: [b] Guitar Info[/b] Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan in the Year(s): 1984 - 1987 [b] Fuji String Instrument Production Corporation[/b] Fuji String Instrument Production Corporation was opened in may 1960, they initially started manufacturing violins and quickly switched to classical guitar production.

KiOgon Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Look at the pots - should be a date code on them which will narrow it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
