Hello all,
Bit of an odd question but looking for guitar brands that print the year of manufacturer on their guitars (as well as serial numbers).
My daughter (1st child) was born in 2015 and I bought an Epiphone Gary Clark jr sig casino which had 2015 printed on the rear of the headstock. I thought it was a pretty cool thing to have for when they are older.
Just had another daughter so now looking for a 2017 guitar. I am a strat player really but obv Fender only do serial numbers which don’t have the same effect. I know Gibson print the year, and I am guessing epiphone do? Any other brands that people know of (electric or acoustic) I don’t want to pay more than £1k tops so can’t go high end, and want something fairly classic.
Any help would be good.
Thanks
Chris

Why not get the strat or whatever you want and get a purpose made/engraved neck plate which whatever printed.
Typical...

Or even have a laser etching of a photo

The etched images are very good, I have one for a strat of a well know guitarist.
Very clear and no doubt who it is
Not that expensive and plenty of places to get them, another place

you can even upgrade them as they grow using new images, nice touch
I used that line on my wife to get myself a decent guitar in 2015...
The only problem is I have to try and get something equally nice for my eldest born in 2011. This has proved hard so am getting a custom build with the date as a serial.
I notice the 2018 model is out soon-presumably this will be released this year still-does that mean it will have Made in 2017 printed even though it is a 18 model given it was manufactured this year-any one know?
