G & L
According to G & L expert Paul Bechtoldt, all production serial numbers started at #500, as prior numbers were reserved for special instruments or presentations. All G & L models have a date in the neck pocket of the instrument for reliable dating. Most G & L instruments have both body and neck dating, leading to some confusion as to the actual building date. However, the final authority exists in the G & L log book - manually looking up the serial number of the instrument.
1980-1996: All G & L serial numbers are seven digits long, with the first digit being a letter prefix indicating a guitar ("G") system or bass ("B") system.
1997-Date: In 1997, all guitar models and L-1505 and L-2500 basses changed to a six-digit sequence beginning with CL (in honor of founder Clarence Leo Fender), followed by four numbers.
The two guitar models to have their own prefix digits and numbering system were the Broadcaster ("BC") and George Fullerton Signature model ("GF").

In 2003 G&L introduced the Tribute series to the US market as a more affordable alternative to the USA built products. Tribute G&L's were made in Korea by Cort Guitars using mostly foreign-made hardware, though some original parts were also used on select models. The pickups used are all originally made by G&L in Fullerton, California. Production of the guitars has since moved to a Cort facility in Indonesia.
Before 2003, for a short time there was production of Tribute guitars in Japan for non-US markets. But when production in Japan became more expensive and the best Korean manufacturing raised to the same quality level, the production moved to Korea.
我對 G & L 不是很了解﹐你先看下這些英文﹐若有疑問我們再來討論。
如果是Tribute 系列可能不是美國生產﹐2003 以前的早期是日本﹐後來轉去韓國﹐2003 以後可能又從韓國轉去印尼。

恭喜秋雄﹐找到答案了﹐你的推斷完全正確。 因為1997年以後序號改為 CL 後加4個號碼。 你的貝士也許是 1994-1995年生產﹐美國製的不會錯。
