Hi, I have been given a Seagull guitar and although i have i have looked through the threads about the serial numbers etc, i can't work out what my guitar is or when it was made. I wonder if someone can help me please.

The serial number is on a label on the inside of the guitar 4514290.

Thank you

They only used 7 digits from 1993 to 1995. They make the serial numbers confusing by counting the weeks starting with their fiscal year on August 1. So the first 22 weeks are actually in the previous year!! Yours is week 51, so that would be the 3rd week of July. Day 4, Thursday. So your guitar was made Thursday July 22, 1994, and it was the 290th instrument made that week.
