11023 would be either, 1971(apparent on takeharu's which have the model number build year and serial number which the first digit is always last of the build year) or 1981 depending on the label square being approx. Takeharu, Halifax, bluebell, tomson etc ) the first number of the serial number is the last year of the build year ie.

Hi tomas and all,in my years of trying to date Suzuki guitars the only sense I can make of it all is for kiso Suzuki's ( inc. I can be found on facebook at kiso Suzuki guitars - Jarrod a. Nagoya Suzuki had also changed labels from the standard white and yellow to the white square label for standard Nagoya's and green square labels for the three S series.Īll Nagoya s have 6 digit serials, and 7 after mid 80s. The square label was used until 1979 where the label was now round with ALL serial numbers starting with 9,0,1, 2, 1980 81 82 83.the round label from 1979 and some 1980 labels have the green wreath border. Anne 1967 No.7 etc from 1969-1970 the kiso labels changed to the square label and then had 5 digit serial numbers with the first being the year of the 70s it was made eg 10345 =1971 #345. All kiso Suzuki guitars pre-1970 had the date ( anno or Anne ) stamped on the label with the model number eg. The first kiso Suzuki guitars are actually pre 1951 possibly even from 1948 I will send tom the label and photos of the guitar in question, anyway. So you want to date your kiso Suzuki guitar.
