A pic would help a lot. I'm not familiar with that serial number.

Pics would definitely be good. I have no knowledge of a "Z" prefix. I would guess that it's maybe a 7, which is the typical leading digit for a CE. But 770929 doesn't jive either. A CE would be bolt-on neck with SN on the neck plate.

But hang on, where is the serial number located? If it's a set neck guitar (SN on back of headstock), those digits make sense, but instead of a Z it would be a 2. 270929 would be a 2002 set-neck guitar.

Thanks Garrett, the serial number is on the back of the head stock. And you're right its not a Z it's a 2. Both of the 2's look like Z's. I'm trying to post pics, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

Okay cool, we're getting somewhere then. It's a 2002 set neck something, not a CE.

For the pics, you'll need to upload them to a photo sharing site like Photobucket and then copy/paste the links.

Now that one has been played!

Most likely a Standard 22. I don't see an inlay on the last fret, so I'm guessing it has 22 frets?

If it has exposed maple faux binding around the edge of the top, it's a Custom. Generally, though, on Customs they would only paint the top gold, whereas on the Standards they paint the whole thing. The only real difference between the two being that the Custom has a maple top and the Standard is all mahogany.

Hey thanks a lot Garrett, it's all gold. Ya I've beat it up pretty good. It's getting a rest so I can do some repairs and change some hardware. Really appreciate you getting me cleared up on what the heck it is....lol Yes, it does have 22 frets.

[Mark Sanders]
