![]() Electric instruments 1935–1942: The earliest electric instruments from 1935 don't show a SN visible SNs starting by 1936 around 25 and ending around 7242. Acoustic instruments 1943–1956, including electric hollowbody instruments 1950 –1956: SNs starting at 50000 and ending around 69637. Acoustic instruments 1931 –1943: SNs starting at 5000 and ending around 20307. ![]() Several different SN systems were used depending on instrument type and time period – mostly employing consecutive, ascending numbers following the timeline of production (see detailed analysis in chapter 3 ff.):Ī. SNs of Epiphone electric stringed instrumentsĮpiphone's stringed instruments of the 1931–1956 period typically show a visible serial number – high-end models the same way as lower-priced instruments. ![]() Reconstructing model production data – filling SN gaps through interpolation + extrapolationĥ.
