The serial number is H803661. made in 1980, according to these numbers. But the series started in 1986!? Help me! Thanks in advance!!!

The changed the serial number/dating. Somewhere, there's a thread regarding this.

In this case "H" means "This guitar was made for HOSHINO, by Terada factory). A possible reason they didn't use the "T" could be that Tokai was possibly already using it for acoustic Ibanez production in the early '80s. But we're still working on that hypothesis. Ginger
