KH-2 serials
Can anyone help me decipher this serial number? 34239
34 - temperature (centigrade) in the shop when guitar was made (you should try to keep the guitar at this temperature at all times)
2 - number of times guitar was dipped in esp's mystic sauce after finishing
3 - guitar was made in the third lunar month of the year (traditional japanese calendar)
9 - number of the guitar (counting kh-2 bolt-ons only) made in that month, less 4 (a calibration constant). thus this was the fifth guitar made in the third lunar month. most esp aficionados consider the 7-12 range to be the optimal instruments from each month.

Based on your serial number it is a '95 1995 - 191XX --> 244XX -....dipped 4 times in ESP's mystic sauce
The serial number doesn't do much. If you can post pics, we can help you figure out what you have.
