Usauly schecters have a serieal nyumbers n it says sgr or sumthing under it mine doesnt its a c-1 plus any1 have a schecter like that. It is hard to tell by serial number, from my understanding. If we are talking about the same guitar, the 21 frets generally makes it earlier, so 1983 seems reasonable. Later ones has 22 frets, sometimes TM near the schecter(TM) logo on the headstock, and sometimes Schecter labelled Schaller pickups.

What year is the model of your guitar? Ever wanted to know but aren’t quite sure. Well, it’s quite easy to determine using the serial number on your Martin guitar.

Where Do I Find the Serial Number?
On Martin Guitars the serial number is usually located on the heel of the neck inside the soundhole. So you’ll need to look through the soundhole towards the neck.

This may be hard to read so you may need to shine a light in there (flashlight, smartphone etc).
There will usually be 2 numbers in there. The first number (the top number) will be the model number. The second number (the bottom number) will be the serial number.

Once You’ve found Your Serial Number
Once you’ve found your serial number check out the table below. This shows all of the serial numbers of Martin’s guitars since 1898!
The serial number for each year shows the serial number of the last guitar that was built in that year.
So, if your serial number is 240121 for example then your Martin guitar was built in 1968. The number is above 230095 so it was built after 1967 but it’s less than 241925 so it was built before the end of 1968 – so it was built in 1968.

Exceptions
In 1981 & 1982 the serial numbers 900001 to 902908 were used on Sigma guitars – so these serial numbers aren’t on any Martin guitars. So the serial numbers for Martin Guitars built in 2002 are 845645-900000 and 902909-916759.
Why is the First Number not 1?
The reason the first number isn’t 1 is that the first guitars in production by Martin weren’t numbered like this. But once they started this numbering system they estimated that they had built 8347 guitars before starting the system – so the first one in the system is 8348.
Thanks for reading
I hope this helps you to discover when your Martin guitar was built if you are curious or need to know it for any other reason.
