The new 1998 X series continued using this same serial number sequence until the X series ended production in India in 2001 and moved to Japan starting in 2002 (where it currently is made, as of 2010). JS20s had been produced in India since 1996 using an 8 digit serial scheme where the first two digits corresponding to the year (96xxxxxx 1996, 99xxxxxx 1999, 00xxxxxx 2000, 04xxxxxx 2004). I suspect the move of the X series from Korea to Japan is why the MIK JS20s end in 1998 and MIJ JS20s appear to start in 1999 speculation warning. I have never seen a pre-1998 MIJ JS20 and the MIJ JS20 appears to still be made today (2010). Serial numbers for the MIJ JS20s follow the exact same format as all other MIJ serial numbers from 1996 on, they are assigned a 7 digit serial number which increases sequentially. Serial numbers for the MIK JS20s are 7 digits long and start with the number 1 (there is some speculation that they might also start with a 0, but I have not seen a 7 digit serial number starting with 0 as of yet), production ended in 1998 when the Jackson MIK production ended.

Serial numbers for the MII JS20s are also 8 digits long with the first two digits corresponding to the year (96xxxxxx 1996, 99xxxxxx 1999, 00xxxxxx 2000, 04xxxxxx 2004), JS20s are still made in India (as of 2010). Serial numbers for the MIT JS20s are 8 digits long and the first digit probably denotes the year. The JS20 was initially made in Taiwan (MIT), India (MII), Korea (MIK) and Japan (MIJ). The MSRP of the JS20 in 1996 was 325 and it could be purchased new for around 200 in the US at the time.Ī black JS20 (serial number 65002013) was my first electric guitar and my first Jackson, purchased new in 1996. JS20 MIT, MII, MIK, MIJ The new No Series name MIJ guitars had a low priced student model companion, the JS20. There is not a precise way of dating the production numbers across all four years of MIK production (I only have a few dates aligned with serial numbers as of right now) if you have a MIK guitar please post the serial number and any other information at so that one day we may be able to know production dates via the MIK serial number. Production of the MIK Performers ended in 1998 and the production moved to Japan in 1999. Korean Performers The less expensive MIJ Concept series (produced Christmas 1993 to 1994) moved production to Korea in 1995 and became the Performer series.Īll MIK Performers were given a 7 digit serial number that starts with the number 1 (there is some speculation that they can also start with a 0, but I have not seen a 7 digit serial number starting with 0 as of yet) and were assigned serial numbers sequentially.

Some new No Series name MIJ guitars for 1996 (like the SDK-2, the Stealth EX, etc) received 6 digit serial numbers during this transition period while the Professional series was ended (there also are some Professionals that received 7 digit new format serial numbers and some new No Series guitars that received the new 7 digit serial number sequence 96 in their 6 digit serial numbers, so anything is possible during this transition in early 1996). The new 7 digit MIJ serial system was suppose to start at the end of the Professional series which was suppose to end in 1995, but it appears a few Professional series guitars were made into early 1996. There is a slight exception to this format for several 1996 models. Professional series guitars and a new serial number format.Īll MIJ bolt on guitars received a 7 digit serial number starting at 9600000 increasing sequentially as more guitars are built, this system continues to this day for MIJ guitars (as of the start of 2010 the serial numbers are up to approximately 9850000). The Concept series was only produced in 1994 and had the first 7 digit serial number scheme (94xxxxx). In 1994 (technically Christmas 1993) a new MIJ series started, the Concept series. There is an exception to this serial number format, Fusion model guitars (1990-1995) also have a 6 digit serial but will start with 90-95 with the first two digits corresponding to the year (90xxxx 1990, 95xxxx 1995). The serial numbers of the Professional series MIJ guitars are 6 digits long and will start with 0-5 with the first digit corresponding to the year (0xxxxx 1990, 5xxxxx 1995).
