dating a JS100

[nikster]

my old man has just got hold of a JS100 and we were just wanting2 know how u date it. is it the first 2 numbers after the factory letter?

don't moan that it's a JS100, it has been set up by Scott Gorham's guitar tech. so there *sticks out tongue*

you just walk up and say "hey babe, fancy coming out for a drink?"

et voila, date sorted

I'm quite sure when I comes to the Korean made guitars from Ibanez, i.e. from Cort. But I think you are right that the two first numbers after the letter give the year.

From Rich's site:

"Cort serial numbers are denoted with a C prefix followed by either 7 or 8 digits. I'm not sure what year the changeover occurred but using the formula it will be easy for you to tell. A 7 digit number example - C5030567 - translates, 5 = 1995, 03 = 3rd month [March], 0567 = 567th guitar built in March 1995. An 8 digit number example - C03114373 - translates, 03 = 2003, 11 = 11th month [November], 4373 = 4373rd guitar built in November 2003."

I hear those JS100's put out on first dates if you "finger" them correctly!

they tend to be a bit classless though, leave their G string hanging out for all to see!
