Depending on the model you find the serial number stamped into the neck plate or stamped on the fingerboard at the last fret or on the headstock.
If you want to know the production year of your Squier guitar,you can decipher it with the serial number decoder, or find it in explanation about the dating system below.
Jackson history in short
| Until the early 1980s, Grover Jackson worked for the guitar builder and manufacturer Wayne Charvel. Charvel made copies of the Fender Stratocaster and was the first manufacturer with a 24 frets guitar, the «Superstrat». In 1980, Grover started his own company and focused primarily on building individual customer requirements. One of the first customers was the guitar player of Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhoads. This became the «RR» model which was based on the Flying V. or Gibson. Due to the high quality of the Jackson guitars, more and more guitar players, especially from the heavy-metal scene, had a custom-made guitar built at Grover Jackson. This resulted in legendary models such as the King V, Soloist, Concert and Dinky. The guitars were produced in San Dimas, California and later also in Ontario, California. In 1985, IMC acquired the greatest interest in Jackson and began to devote more time and attention to a more extensive guitar market. | While Jackson still makes top products, Jackson also began to produce cheaper versions of their standard designs in Asia in an effort to make their products more accessible to people with a small wallet. In late 2002 bought Fender Musical Instruments Corporation Jackson IMC, and American productions were moved to the Fender factory in Corona, California. Grover Jackson |

For All You Charvel San Dimas Lovers!
Many of the San Dimas Guitars I have seen are fraudulent. I mean how easy it it to make a copy of a Fender copy? Oh you checked yours out with Jackson, so you are confident that yours is real. I’ve got sad news for you. The principal forger of the San Dimas guitars who shall remain un-named, If I say his name, he will sue me, because it is hard to prove.
Here’s the sad news. This SOB, who pretends to be mister know it all on Jackson/Charvel is actually acquiring original Charvel guitars. When he is 100% satisfied that they are original & real he will make a number of exact copies of it. In this way when you call Jackson to check out the guitar you will find that all the colors and numbers match. Theoretically you could buy a perfect copy right down to the serial # and color. buyer beware. I have purposely stayed away from the old San Dimas Charvel guitars because I knew that someday this would come out and every one of them will come under suspicion.
There is only one way to get a real one and be 100% sure. If you find an old Charvel at a Tag Sale for $150.00 I will bet it’s real. The minute any dealer has had it, I would immediately doubt it’s authenticity. The high price taints the originality.
The FENDER Issue
As many of my customers know I have never been the biggest corporate guitar supporter on this planet. However in the case of Jackson Guitars, Ed Roman is very impressed by what Fender is doing. They are pumping money & R&D dollars into the company they are bringing in new & modern tooling. They are keeping the price structure quite low for a guitar of that caliber.
When I first heard that Fender had bought the company, I was afraid they would do the typical Gibson thing and destroy it quickly. I am surprised & happy to say that Fender is really trying to beef up the quality & clean up all the problems that existed before when Akai owned Jackson. I am watching their movements closely and it looks like they have nothing but good intentions for Jackson/Charvel.
If they change their tactics, I will be the first to bring it to your attention. At this time it does not look like they are going about anything the wrong way. These actions have caused me to look at Guild & Gretsch which are other Fender owned guitars. I have now decided to carry both lines.
It would be very cool if Fender reissued the old San Dimas model Charvel, They could actually do it with the real headstock that it came with and many peoples dreams would come true.
Who knows, (They did do It and I have some still left that are available, I bought the first 12)

NOTES: All Randy Rhoads neck-thru’s were given «RR****» serial numbers from 1983 to the spring of 1990. After that point, only custom Rhoads guitars were given «RR****» serial numbers; any production Rhoads guitars were considered «USA» models and given «U0****» serial numbers. Any neck-thru body guitar that was not a Randy Rhoads model was given a «Jnnnn» number. This included Soloists, King V’s, Kelly’s, Concert Basses etc. After the spring of 1990, only custom neck-thru’s were given «J» numbers; any production Soloists, Kelly’s, King V’s etc. were also considered «USA» models and given «U0****» numbers. There are exceptions to this rule. Sometimes you will find production neck-thru’s from the 90’s with «J» or «RR» numbers instead of «U» numbers; this usually means it was a prototype of some kind made in the custom shop. There are a scattering of Rhoads guitars out there with «J» serial numbers instead of the traditional «RR» number (oops!).

NOTE 1: There were approximately 750 Bolt-on Charvel’s made from 1979-1981 without serial numbers. The first serial number used was a Strat-style guitar with the Heineken beer bottle label painted on it, November 9th, 1981. These neck plates say «Charvel PO Box 245, San Dimas, Ca, 91773». The last Early Charvel was #5491, built in January of 1986. Neck plates with numbers 5492 and up were supposedly destroyed but some of them do turn up from time to time. BUYER BEWARE!! These are not real Jacksons!
NOTE 2: From 1987 to 1989 Jackson Custom Shop bolt on neck guitars were not assembled in strict serial number order. Serial numbers 5234 to 5999 do not exist (due to an error in the stamping machine). These neck plates say «Jackson, 4452 Airport Drive. Ontario, CA 91761». They are still in use today.
NOTE 3: Since the Jackson Junior (JJ) is the only Jackson bolt on without a neck plate, these serial numbers can be found stamped into the fretboard.
Other Note: Charvel bolt ons were discontinued and replaced with Jackson bolt ons in 1986. This coincided with the introduction of the Japanese Charvel’s. In the spring of 1990, the four digit Jackson neck plate was reserved for custom instruments only. All production bolt on instruments were given the six-digit USA series neck plate.
FENDER ® CREATES MANUFACTURING SUBSIDIARY
JACKSON/CHARVEL MANUFACTURING, INC.
New Family Of Products Brings Diversity To FMIC Distribution
SCOTTSDALE, AZ, 10/29/2002 — Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) is proud to announce the creation of a new manufacturing subsidiary, to be called Jackson/Charvel Manufacturing, Inc. Consequently, Jackson/Charvel Manufacturing, Inc. has signed a deal to purchase specific assets of the Jackson/Charvel Guitar Company, which was a division of Akai Musical Instruments Corporation (AMIC). The acquisition, effective as of October 25, 2002, will include all existing inventory of products and trademarks relating to Jackson and Charvel.
The industry’s leader in manufacturing and distribution of electric guitars and amplifiers with the Fender ® and Squier ® brand names, FMIC has continually sought to develop diverse and innovative products. With the addition of Jackson/Charvel Manufacturing, Inc. into the Fender fold, the company has the opportunity to produce and distribute new products, and to welcome a core consumer base geared more towards heavy metal and hard rock styles.
Says Bill Schultz, Chairman and CEO of FMIC, “Throughout our history, we’ve embraced musicians of all styles by offering products to suit their needs. Jackson and Charvel products appeal to musicians that are not traditional ‘Fender’ players, but who want a quality instrument made by people who know what their needs are. We are musicians, we know guitars, and we know how to get them to the guitarists of the world.”
“Both the Jackson and Charvel product lines consist of quality instruments with strong brand recognition and a rightful place in musical instrument history,” adds Schultz. “Many innovative product features and cutting edge artists are associated with these fine instruments, and with the creation of Jackson/Charvel Manufacturing, Inc., we are committed to exceeding their expectations in the areas of quality, service and market support.”
Jackson/Charvel Manufacturing, Inc. will immediately begin to produce Jackson and Charvel products utilizing its existing production facility in Ontario, California for all American-made Jackson and Charvel guitars, as well as its custom orders. Additionally, Jackson/Charvel Manufacturing, Inc. will continue to produce guitars with its overseas manufacturing partners.
FMIC will then sell and distribute the products through a new inside telesales and field sales department under the direction of Jeff Cary, Vice President of Specialty Sales, and will utilize its existing network of global distributors and direct sales offices. AMIC product manager, Donnie Wade, will join Fender and will head up the marketing efforts.
“This is great news for fans of Jackson and Charvel,” says Marketing Manager, Donnie Wade. “The guitars will remain with one of the most prestigious American manufacturers ever, one that is a progressive company and that will maintain the integrity that Jackson and Charvel has built throughout its years.”
Jackson and Charvel’s existing retailers, which number around 400 in the United States, will still be able to carry the products and will be contacted directly by FMIC to ensure a trouble-free change over.
“We have worked very hard over the past seventeen years to build a worldwide distribution network that offers quality instruments and excellent service to retailers and consumers,” says Schultz. “We are all very excited to have Jackson and Charvel within our family, and we look forward to working with the retailers that have supported these instruments throughout their history.”
