Serial number lookup for guitars and gear
Decode a serial number to its production year, factory, and country of origin. GearHub carries deep decoders for Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, Taylor, Martin, PRS, and Ibanez, plus reference data covering more than a hundred brands across guitars, amps, pedals, synths, microphones, drums, and DJ equipment.
Honest results
Where a maker's serials genuinely encode a date, we decode it and say how. Where they do not, we say that too, instead of guessing. Serials that do not match a known format are flagged as atypical so you can double-check before a purchase.
Checked against stolen-gear reports
Every lookup is checked against gear registered on GearHub, including items reported stolen, so a bad serial surfaces before money changes hands.
