I'm going with option 3, and it isn't like a Partscaster comes with a serial number, not that it's the be all and end all with counterfeiters ripping off numbers of Gibsons from the internet and putting them on Chibsons to sell to some poor unsuspecting bastard. Original electronics with one phase switch added. It’s in nice used condition with light scratches and a few dings. It's home built using a 1989 Carvin neck & core by Billy-Bob Hicksville in his shed in the small town of Buttfuckyoursister in Louisiana and I had mistaken his serial number of '1' as a small dent after the 24th fret. Serial number 9100 which I believe makes it a ‘78 model. It's a refinished 1989 Carvin DC Something that someone decided to strip a little value off before selling it on.ģ. It's a stolen & refinished ESP Mirage that someone decided to strip considerable value off it before selling it on.Ģ. It leaves us with the following conclusions:ġ. I certainly never saw any wanted adverts asking for it back and when I was trying to ID the thing on many forums and manufacturer customer service portals nobody ever said 'oi that's hooky son!'. My Carvin Bitsa has no serial number, it was bought for buttons and to be honest the idea it could be a stolen guitar didn't even enter my head. So if your guitars serial number has 10 digits, then this is the serial number system that. It would depend on the guitar and the cost- in this instance, no, there's plenty of MIM Strats- it's a fabulous colour though.
