The information on this page is culled from several sources both on-line and off-line and represents a distillation of the available information. Ibanez guitar production is outsourced to several companies and facilities through the world and the numbering schemes are different in each region and/or factory.
Unfortunately, there is no single unified format used for Ibanez serial numbers. Serial numbers can be useful in determining the age of a guitar as well as in which country and by which builder it was produced. The serial numbers are generally a character string containing letters and numbers, although some are purely numeric. The practice wasn't fully adopted on set-neck guitars until sometime in 1976. The first serial numbers on Ibanez acoustic guitars appeared in October 1974 Serial numbers on solid body guitars came a bit later with the first appearing on the neck plate of bolt-on neck models around August 1975. Ibanez guitars have used serial numbers since the mid 1970s.
Ibanez serial numbers are unique identifiers placed on instruments sold under the Ibanez brand. Examples of Ibanez serial numbers on back of headstock
