Peavey Predator serial numbers

Post by blues2use » Sat Aug 20, 2011 2:16 pm

I am looking at a very nice, older Predator. Can someone explain the serial number codes so that I can get an idea of this guitar's age?

Thanks for the help...

Me thinks this one is 1994 - should have a Peavey PowerBend tremolo - last year for that version of the very rockin', highly under-rated Predator.

Thanks for the replies. I had guessed it to be a '95 but, regardless, these guitars are excellent players for the money and the USA made models are as good as any other Strat clone I've played...and the price on this one with Red/Blues/Gold Lace Sensors is too good to pass up...

Thanks again...

Thanks, Box...I appreciate your help.

Can you tell me how to decode the serial number so that I would know how to read another one quickly and accurately?

Thanks! That was fast! So I own a 19 year old guitar in almost mint condition - pretty cool!

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone could give me some information about my guitar from the serial number?

03040106 is printed on the back of the neck.

Thanks!
Louise
