I recently got an AS200 used in a music shop. The seller told me that the guitar was made in 1982. The serial number is F825585 (crafted in Japan). This lead me to think that it was really made in 1982 (if my understandig is correct, it should be made in June 1982). However, looking into the f-hole, I noticed that in the label is written 1-11-1982. Now, the question is: Was the guitar made in June or in November? Was it assembled with two different parts (neck and body)? Is it fake? Thanks for your help.

Thanks. Francesco   Captainibanez Username: Captainibanez Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 03, 2007 - 9:19 pm:    Francesco,sorry for the extra trouble, but glad the pics are here. In my honest opinion, the hand writting inside on the label 1/11/1982 is probably when the original owner bought it. You have to go with the number that is on the back of the headstock.This is it's proper serial number, built in June 1982. Captain Ibanez
