DATING GUITARS AND MANDOLINS
BY REFERENCE OF SERIAL NUMBERS

Serial numbers can be useful in determining the year of manufacture of a guitar or amp.
But due to incomplete registrations and illogical serial numbers, its history is often unclear.
With the help of the serial number decoder, tables and instructions are the year and location
of the largest well-known brands.

Squier serials

Potentiometer codes

Looking up the year of manufacture of a guitar or amplifier(Fender) is based on the format of the serial number of that brand. Each brand has its own coding method that has changed regularly over the years. As a result, certain brands have the same serial numbers, but with a different coding method, which creates overlaps. There are also brands that repeat a serial number every decade.
Then the external characteristics of the guitar are important to place the dating in the correct decade. Connoisseurs and specialists, who can be found in the various guitar forums, can help you with this.

With no (or unreadable) serial numbers, the electronic parts of an electric guitar also give an indication.
For example, the production code of the potentiometers can give an indication about the year of manufacture
of the guitar.

Bruno Ventura Guitars Serial Numbers

The ones I've googled have always had the Ventura name across the headstock, and also there were serial numbers above the model number on the tag inside. This one has neither. I know she got the guitar sometime in the mid 70s but no one knows for sure when, and I'd sure like to get an approximate build date if it's at all possible.
