My CC257 has serial 499xxx. According to the Ovation Serial/Date lists, that makes it a 1995. But the 'O' price history list says the CC257 was not sold in 1995. It goes 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996. 1995 is skipped.

Any ideas as to why?

it is my understanding that the s/n's for the celebrity line is not consistent and does not follow any year designation.

I imagine it will now be true for the lower end models coming from korea as well.

The S/N dating on the Ovation site are for US made guitars only.

As stated at the top of their page:
