Let’s say the weeks are 27, 29, 33, 41. Based on the last number (45), it’s safe to say it was made in late 1974. Many silverface and some blackface amps have the exact week, month and year stamped insie the chassis. FENDER SERIAL NUMBERS: Here’s a link to a great webpage that has compiled the dating list for Fender Serial Numbers. Properly identifying Carvin guitar amplifiers can be much trickier than identifying Carvin guitars and basses. For starters, there is no serial number information currently available, from this site, or from Carvin directly. So, unfortunately, having a serial number is of no benefit in identifying the year of a particular amp.

Because many of the guitars they produce are custom orders, the serial numbers flow as the orders are received, therefore, sequential serial numbers could represent any model guitar or bass.'
From a data processing point of view, this is questionable. The order records are computerized. All they have to do is tag the order record with the serial number when it's assigned. The data for every order ever filled would fit on a thumb drive. They could easily have at their fingertips access to a description of every guitar in their database, by serial number or any other field. They may, in fact, actually have that ability now but have reasons for not wanting to provide that facility.

Recent orders are in the computer, but that system hasn't been in place that long (we have been building guitars for 60 years, after all). There are dozens of and-written ledgers with every order every placed. So, finding out something about a particular s/n means weeding through all these books, a page at a time - literally, tens of thousands of pages. We've talked about how nice it would be to build a database with all this information - being the webmaster of the Museum as well as here, I would love it.
But the cost of having a contractor manually type in thousands and thousands of guitars with all the options would be extremely expensive. There's no reason at all we wouldn't want to share ths data with people - it's just a matter of cost and time. Rahker wrote:From a data processing point of view, this is questionable.

But since they are now, there's little excuse for not being able to search on serial numbers. As for sharing info, some companies skirt any privacy issues by denying all information.

I'll work cheap. I've got Excel and Access. If the paper ledgers were scanned, we could make it a community project of the members of this forum to extract the data.
