FWIW, I bought #72 from Charlie in sep. '95. It was a used guitar. I'm not exactly sure of the exact date of mfg, but I think I can estimate it is a year or more older than that.


Here's an excerpt from an earlier thread about the one I used to have. I'd say it is at least 1 or 2 years older than the purchase date. Perhaps someone who bought a brand new one near your # can get you closer.

I don't know of any official dating system for Derbys, but Charlie probably kept records of when they were first sold.
What a shame our buddy is not around to ask. Miss him.
