The ICW is a gathering of Ibanez collectors who relish in the challenge of not just collecting Ibanez guitars, but of identifying old models, dating guitars by serial numbers, and generally watching the vintage guitar marketplace to.
- Found this spiffy site that lets you punch in the serial number on your IBANEZ guitar and it will tell you when, and where it was made and something about the facility it was built in. I just found out my RG560 was built in 1991 in Fujijen. Here is my search result. Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant, Japan 1991 Production Number: 24754.
Re: Ibanez serial numbers. Last 4 numbers are the # it rolled off the line. First number is year, since yours has 7 numbers, that means it was made from 1997-present. 2nd number is month (in this case 3rd number, because 97 counts as 'one' being the year).
