Location: SoCal | The retail price matrix on OFC is an excellent contribution. We can get an idea of total production by year by serial number.
However, is there any source of production by MODEL by year. A good example is the Viper Bass that is being discussed in another topic. It would be helpful if these figures are available.
Thanks |

Location: SoCal | The only guitar model I am certain of is the 1537 Elite. There are records as to what serial number started them. |

Location: Seymour, Tennessee | This thread got my curiosity going so I looked at the production numbers for the Collector's Series.
I looked for the 1988 and was surprised it said only 1177 were made.
I thought they made 1600 of them.
At any rate the serial number on my guitar is #1593, any ideas on why my guitar is numbered higher than the total produced? |

My SlotHead Adamas is #54, but only 35 were made. |
