Location: Worcestershire, UK | I've just bought a sunburst Viper solid body with the serial E8859. Is it possible to date the guitar from that number? Any response would be appreciated. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Come on Jeff, this is far too easy. DATE a Viper? Hell, I MARRIED her. And yes after 25 years ANY response would be apprecieted.
Archie, I think you can find the date by looking up the serial number in the Reference section at the left of the page. Say "Hi" to Edith for me.

Location: Worcestershire, UK | Thanks for posting, guys. Guess I could have worded the thread differently. Entertaining, nonetheless. According to the reference section, my guitar was manufactured sometime between 1973 and 1975. Earlier than I thought. Guy I bought it from said it was '79/'80. Thanks again.
