Ok, I've heard that the fist # after the letters is for the year, and after that, the production #. But the way I understand it, this was only for the Japanese "factories" where guitars are *pumped out en masse. Does this hold the same for the UCEW, USRG, etc.? Or was there a different system *used on these? The serial no. on my USRG is US0894072. So how would I be able to tell what year it is?
