Many guitars from this era use a multi-digit code that details the exact day of production. Production Year (e.g., 06 for 2006). 3rd and 4th digits: Production Week. 5th digit: Day of the Week (1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, etc.). Remaining digits: Weekly production rank.
: Often use a "Date of Manufacture" (DOM) format.
Because sequential numbers do not explicitly state the year, a serial number search must be accompanied by a feature analysis. For example, a transition from a "script" logo to a "block" logo, or changes in tuning machines, helps narrow down the date range provided by the serial number.
