1998 Custom Shop Relic of a 1954 Stratocaster

Figure out the date of your Pre-Time Machine Relic:

"Just in case... 6 digits, first is the last number of the year, next three are the day of that year, and the last two are the "serial number" for that batch, usually 20 to 40 of a particular color".

Example:  622516 ; 225th day of '96, #16 out of 20 in that batch. This applies to bodies and necks.


"We marked them the day they were put into prep for paint, to track production in the shop, identification for shipping and invoicing, and good old fashioned anal guitar dating to give guys like us something to obsess over in the coming years! :)"
