I researched the serial numbers for the Epiphone Genesis guitars made in Japan and the information that I found said that the Japanese were terrible at logging serial numbers and there are no known records of Japanese made guitars in that time period pre 80’s.

My guitar has the serial number 0700075. What does that mean? Thanks

Well hell I’ve had mine for 30 years I love it just got through cleaning up the pots and the switch sounds great mine has a six-digit serial number on it and that would be 003973. Ben pipelining on the west coast for the last 8 years and it’s good to get reacquainted with this baby..☠

Hello!

My Genesis has the serial number 0100109. Under that, there is a large “2”. What does this 2 mean? Thanks!

I’ve got a black Epiphone Genesis from 1979 or 80. My wife bought it new.The only ID it has is the number 0290605 stamped on the back of the head.

Planning to buy a Epiphone Genesis bass with serial 1200056
How much should I pay max?

I have a Epiphone Genesis Standard, serial # 1190136 with a 3 below the serial #.
Could you tell what year it was built and why the 3 is stamped below the serial numbers?

Good day to you all. I have an Epiphone Genesis guitar, SN on the neck is 1190238. This guitar was my father’s and I would like to get some information about the guitar. Is there a good website where I can find photos of others that are similar along with a little history of the guitar about when it was made and where?

We are very curious as to what the retail cost would have been when it was a new purchase? What the current approximate ballpark value (of course depending on condition) might be? The body of the guitar is a solid body and is a beautiful deep solid burgundy color with a cream colored band around the edge on the top side. My dad always said it was a steel neck on this guitar. It has double pick ups, three (pots) controls for volume, treble and base control, plus a toggle switch on the front for Rhythm/ ? /Treble (I don’t know what the center position is). I am amazed at how heavy this guitar is as we have tried to weigh it on a home scale and it is approximately between 10-12 pounds. Any information would be very helpful on this fine instrument.

Regards,

Hi Fernando, i have an Epiphone Genesis too..a dealer said that this could be one of last american epiphone??? But in the web i found an article that said it was the first asian guitars which was build between 81-82. Is yours black or sunburst coloured? And how much did you pay for it?

Your Genesis is not a new guitar. Gibson thinks they were made in Taiwan between 1978 and 1980.
