Here's a quick overview (it looks like you have one too many numerals for the proper serial format of the mid-late 90's).

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18

Pics are great for evaluating details, if you have some posted on the web somewhere they can posted with the 'img','timage',
or 'thumbs' tags above the text window.
or just put up a link and we can go from there.

The neck and body dates should be stamped in the neck pocket if you want to find some specific dates .

welcome Michael !

Elwood, judging from this and other posts Mr michaelprice54+ might very well be a troll. For one, we both know the G serial numbers did not go up into the 500,000s. Heck the CLF's are only up to 67,000 by now. So a Tribute S/N then? No, couldn't be that either. The Japanese models have 7 digits and no letter prefix, the Chinese built models have an 'L' prefix but 8 digits.

And above all, the question of how an instrument is identified is by its Serial Number, being the only valid key into finding additional information is production and/or sales logs. In that sense, the question is rather self-referential ;)

I inverted the jack plate so it's an outtie instead of an innie.
