Has been sleeping there the last 30 years! Without dust and with a new d'addario strings, sounds wonderful.
Last christmas, in my parents home, I found my old guitar in the lumber room, where i left when I go to the university in the 1981. Beyond that, I don't see a useful pattern (see below) Also, the spreadsheet gives meaning for some of the letters: ※FH・F:フォークギター = folk guitar W・GR・GW:ウェスタンタイプ = Western type NY:ニューヨーカー = New Yorker model# serial# Year Jp year Est. I'm fairly convinced the first digit of the serial # is the last digit of the year. Hi, I don't know if you're still interested, but I found a spreadsheet with a list (incomplete) of Suzuki model numbers, years of production, and original cost (and I've tabulated as much of the info from this page and my own guitar to try to figure out the serial number scheme.
The first kiso Suzuki guitars are actually pre 1951 possibly even from 1948 I will send tom the label.Īlso have a mid '70's Takeharu Dove same thing - great bass & for these 6's need to select fine sweet strings for the treble strings. so you want to date your kiso Suzuki guitar. Hi i have a suzuki guitar the serial number jus says 4-4 What does this mean Jarrod. The bass on the 6 blows away the big Americans - new strings give it a really metallic sound. I have pulled Gibsons and Martins and Matons off the racks in Music stores - nothing compares - it is that good. I would not part with my 12 for $4000 US it is that good. The 6 is more ordinary but still very good. I have a hummingbird 12 string WT-65H 80614 and a hummingbird 6 string W-65HS 80636 The 12 is better than anything from the Martin Gibson stable - just to die for just extraordinary sound.
