Hi, Does anyone know how to decipher the serial number on a Collings electric? I'm assuming that if you read the number in a certain way it will reveal the date of manufacture or something along those lines.

You can email Collings and find out for sure, but, other than giving Collings the serial number and asking them when it was built, I don't believe they can be decoded in a way that would reveal the date of manufacture.

If my memory serves me correctly... I think, on my 290, the serial number is stamped into the wood inside the control cavity on the back of the guitar. It was also written on a piece of protective plastic that coated the control cavity cover (but I guess a lot of the retailers may remove that plastic before a guitar is put on sale).

Thanks, I have it on the blue plastic; I thought most serial numbers are on the outside of the guitar.
