This looks like a model number, not a serial number. Check if you can find the right number.

I have a Hohner HG-920 serial # 93552 how do i find out year it was made

Are you sure that’s the serial no.? They usually have more digits. Is there any other number anywhere?

Hi Steve,

There are a lot of 5 digit Japanese acoustics including all the 900 series. I’ve given more detail on the other thread, but it’s probably 1979.

I expect you’re right Phil, you usually are. I’m still awaiting a reply from Hohner Service and will post when I receive it.

Hi Steve!

I am the proud owner of a Hohner G3t in perfect condition and of course I am curious about the date and country of manufacture! Serial number looks like 9041208. Thanks for checking into this!

Hohner Service confirms your guitar was built in 1979. They don’t have any other specs available as this model was exclusively distributed in the UK.

Cheers

Hello

I have a ES35 hollow-body, and would like to know when it was made. The serial number is 8090015. Nice guitar, but my understanding is that some years were much better than others!

Thanks,

David

Hi David,
could it be that you’ve transposed the letters? The SE 35 guitar with this serial number was built in 1990 in Korea. The quality of all handmade musical instruments is known to vary, but I’ve not heard of drastic variations among Hohner guitars between particular years. The Korean-made Hohner guitars that I’ve come across were all good value and well made.
Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes, I had the model number letters transposed. I had guessed the guitar was build around 1995, based on my foggy memory of when I had purchased it new from Wildwood Guitars in Louisville, CO. Good to have a more accurate date. Thanks for your quick reply, and Merry Christmas!
