There were some bolt on USA and Czech models. Dean guitars made in the USA follow a serial number pattern consisting of a 7 digit number with the first 2 numbers being the year of manufacture, followed by instrument production numbers. They did start putting a year # somewhere in them, but they are imports and the year really doesn't matter for their worth. The Korean and Chinese guitar serials for the most part don't give a year or any other indication. There are Czech Republic guitars that will have Hand Crafted in the Czech Republic on the back of the headstock with a serial # (nothing to denote year.) In the late 90's (1996 I believe) the serial #'s for the USA models were stamped on the fret board after the last fret. Try making a post on the Dean board - lots of knowledgeable folks.įor the most part - the USA models will have "Made in the USA" with YY - SERIAL on the back of the headstock. Im looking, but Im not finding anything there either.
