    Custom shop serial numbers?

    Is it possible to tell from the serial number of a (post-2015) custom guitar which workshop it was made in? Does a SN ending in 1 indicate that it was built in the Takada shop while a 2 means it was built in Kiso, for instance?

    They're all made in the same factory now.

        They're not made in the same place. You still have the different shops but the serial numbers have simplified. Youhave the factories, custom and standard, but you also have the TechncalHouse and Craft House where people can go in and order it straight from the shop where they also make gtrs.

          Thanks for the link! It has a lot of interesting info (although I had to machine translate most of it).

           

          I don't think the information is up-to-date on the newest iteration of ESP serials though, comparing the info on Douban and GuitarCollector

            That could well be. But they still have different shops/factories.
