Dearmond Electric Guitar Serial Numbers By Year
A buddy got this guitar at a pawn shop and i know nothing about it. Its a black front, dark stained back, with a what looks like a solid through and through neck and body (probably mahogany) but could be a set neck. Has american dearmond pick ups (looks like humbuckers) and the large d shaped tailpeace. The body style looks like a les paul but it is a bit thiner and lighter also has frett marker inlays (mother of pearl?) and a floating pickguard.
Serial # s/n8100573 made in korea by guild is says on the back of the headstock. I recently bought a DeArmond Starfire and also was curious about the history and date of the instrument. I searched several times and ran across a site that, I believe, answered the question.Your number; s/n8072150, according to the information I have, was produced in 1998 in the month of July and obviously was 2150th in the series of that production (I think). The first number 8 is the year, the next two digits indicate the month of manufacture and the last 4 are the sequence numbers. Mine is 8103255, so according to that site it is a 1998 manufactured in October of that year. :: S/N KC00076763 - DeArmond Electric - Tobacco Burst - Solid Body - 2 Single coil Pickups- Can Anyone give me more information on this Guitar?:: Thanks in Advance for any information!
JosephI came across this trying to find information about the DeArmond plant. It's an old post, and you may have already found this out by now-If you didn't find it, yet.I do know this much; the first number after the 'KC' tells the year. So, yours was made in 2000.

An '8' would be 1998, and a '9' would be 1999. Starting with 2000, they added another digit. So, KC00=2000, KC01=2001.etc.Without a photo, I can't be certain, but it's probably a Starfire Special: semi-hollow, 'Digsby' vibrato (like a Bigsby, but with a 'D'), and single florentine sharp cutaway.
