I was wondering why I have 2 serials number on my JS1000BP..

I have this 'F0135417'..which tells me that its made in Japan in 2001 and that's their 35417th guitar of the year...am I right?

and I have also this (where you screw the neck to the body..on the Ibanez metal part...'008687'..what is that??

sorry if it seems stupid..but I'm clueless..thank you

8687th JS Made In Japan [and fitted with the cast plate] It used to be all MIJ but some of the 700's [and now evidently] 100's were MIJ but don't have the cast plate so you can't say all MIJ JS's.

now what does this tell me:

004859 on the plate
F98 0 5 3 3 9 on the headstock of my JS 90th HAM

it obviously ain't the 4859th JS90th made

perhaps the 4859 JS*?

TIA, rich (or perhaps someone else :P)

ppl say i got JS10th #230 (or similiar)...

this ain't possible with a 90th, eh?

thanks anyways, rich

The only similarity are the plates are in the 4000's and they're both 98's

yeah, that's obvious...

any news on the lopro/edge topic with the 90ths?

have had a look at some pics and haven't seen a lopro yet, tbh

I think that thread died, or is burried pages deep?
