Do Dean guitar serial numbers tell you what year it is from.
Hi all
I know Ibanez ones do, but how about with Deans. And if they do identify date of manufacture, how do you work it out form the number.
Cheers

I believe the first two numbers of the serial are the year of it, can t recall the rest though. I figured it out and found out that my ML was a 07, but I can t remember if it was the first or last two numbers that did it, nor what the rest of the numbers mean.

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. The serial number is found on the back of the headstock. Imported Dean guitars do not have year coded serial numbers and have to be dated by configuration and design.

Yeah the USA models do, my USA RC7 has 09 as the first two digits. Honesty never bothered to check the import deans i ve owned though.

UN chained
Dean Imports
import Korean, Japanese or Chinese guitar that was built before 07 -08, your serial number will mean essentially nothing. If it s after that you should be able to decode it pretty easily.
US - Un Sung Korea
Y - Yoojin China
E - World Korea
next 2 digits are the year made followed by the month and then build
so mine for example
US - Un Sung Korea
12 - 2012
04- April
0364 guitar built that month.
My newest addition,
2012 Dean Dime Concrete Sledge ML Limited Run 333

If you have a vintage Dean I suggest heading over to the Dean Forum and post it in the correct location and the Vintage Guru s there can darn near nail your serial number.
If you have a DIME series guitar by Dean Guitars, you can read my old post a few above this one. I have new information about the DIME series in my Blog on this site. Just click my name that will take you to my profile and read my blog section. I ve only spec d out the Razorback V series, but the serial decoding information should still apply. If you need more information, shoot me a PM I have the catalogs from 2004 - 2015.
Note the 2004 catalog for Dean Guitars does not show any DIME series guitars, however, the USA Razorback V s were DIME s Designs and advertised for 9-4-2004.
Shortly after these guitars launched Dime was murdered I have not found a 2005 catalog. I do not see DIME guitars until the 2006 Catalog from 2006 forward I can date your instrument and give you specs. Hope this helps. m/
