How do you tell what year your guitar is?

Answer 1

This will entirely depend on what make you guitar is. Guitars usually have a batch or lot number printed or stamped onto the back of the headstock (as I know Gibsons do) and they normally refer to the year or month made. If your guitar has lot number, some manufacturers offer a service which will allow you to check when your guitar was made by entering the number either online (as Gibson does), or by telephone. A last resort would be to look inside the guitar (unscrew the pick guard/electric components if it is an Electric Guitar) because dates are often written on things like on the backs of the pickups or on the inner wood. However, these do not always show when the entire guitar was eventually made, just when that particular part was made because the parts can sometimes me made long before final completion.
