Serial number dating / Duesenberg
Duesenberg serial number lookup
Find the year a Duesenberg was built, read from Duesenberg’s own numbering scheme.
Can't read a digit? Type ? in its place. Looked-up serials are kept, never tied to you. How it works
Type the serial or code from the instrument. We read it as you type.
Cross-check with a pot code
The number stamped on a potentiometer inside the guitar. It dates the part, not the whole instrument.

Where to find the serial
Until 2009 a label inside the body or the headstock; from 2009 an oval plate on the back of the headstock.
How sure is it
Every result carries its confidence. Treat the year as a strong guide, not proof: a serial can be replaced, a neck and body can be from different years, and reissues copy old numbering. For anything that matters, confirm the year against the neck date, the pot codes and Duesenberg's serial lookup.
