- Decode your serial number. Most serial numbers on Danelectro guitars have either three or four digits.
- The serial numbers of Vintage Series Fenders are not chronological. These metal plates were stamped and most likely put into a bin from which the assembly worker drew parts at random-and this process likely applied to necks as well. The number V000683 does not mean that this was the 683rd guitar made-and most probably it was not.
There’s no way to confirm an exact manufacturing date on any of the first Danelectro reissues. Curiously, there was no valid serial number system. The sticker that was applied on the back of the neck which appears to be a serial number, meant nothing. The first reissues were however made between 1998-2001. Some prototypes of these models were produced earlier in 1997. The DC-3, like the Mod 6 and the Hodad can not be considered re-issues as they have no predecessors. They were actually new models at the time of manufacturing.

Each saddle has two screws, one for height adjustment and one which locks the saddle in place and allows the saddle to be positioned for correct intonation. It also seems to help sustain and resonance if you screw the central fixing screw hard down so the back of the bridge sits on the top of the body. Installation tips

Danelectro Serial Numbers Korea
P.S. If you send me the serial number and any other markings that are on the guitar, I'll see what I can find out in the 'Blue Book for Electric Guitars'.
The serial number is 020001773. I have tried the website but i havent found anything about tracking it.
bgp:
Danelectro serial numbers are coded the first 4 digits 0200 = the first 2 digits are the week of the year it was made (01-52). The third digit is a mystery (batch code or designator?). The fourth digit is the last digit of the production year (which means it is duplicated every ten years). So your guitar was made in the second week of January in either 2010, 2000, 1990, etc.... Hope you can pin down the decade.
