Members cyberpunk409 Posted June 24, 2009 Members Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hey guys. I just got a second hand Cort MR-740FX acoustic guitar.

Members stratotak Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 Q. What is the Cort Guitars serial number dating system? A. This is a common question we see quite regularly on the forums. Cort model serial numbers are usually found on the headstock of the guitar and can often be used to identify the date of manufacture. The most common current dating system has been in place since around 2000 and is YYMMXXXX. Thus, a serial number reading 02046572 means the guitar most likely manufactured in April 2002. In early 2005 Cort serial numbers gained an extra identification digit, and so some models manufactured after this date are in the style of YYMMXXXXX. The older known dating system was implemented in the early 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cyberpunk409 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 thanks for that. it's the "20" at the beginning that has me confused. for a 2002 it should be "02", as you pointed out. is it a wrong serial for maybe 1992 ?

Moderators daddymack Posted December 1, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2019 I suggest you go and ask Cort, as several of the s/n sites I have seen look sketchy or potentially hazardous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a genuine Cort Source (their most recent 335 style semi-hollowbody that I'm aware of) the serial number is usually on the back of the headstock. If it's an earlier model, I'm not sure where you might find it if it's not located there - maybe there's a label inside one of the f-holes? That's where the serial number is located on my 2001 Epiphone Casino. It's also possible Cort did something similar, but the label may have come off at some point in time. I really don't know for certain. You might want to use the link Daddymack posted earlier in the thread and contact Cort and see if they can provide you any additional info. By the way, welcome to Harmony Central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
