BKP serial number?
« on: October 15, 2008, 10:32:08 AM »
What exactly does the BKP serial number represent? does it have a meaning? are the numbers stored somewhere?

my theory used to be that it represented the number made of a particular pickup... i just got VH1002 for example - the 1002nd VH2?

just interested :)

I think you might find it is a VH2 made on Oct 2nd.  I have to go back and look at some of mine, but I seem to think that was what I thought it was.

The serial number is sent to the Pentagon where a black bag task force tracks every boutique guitar accessory's movements throughout the earth as part of an ongoing conspiracy to conceal the existence of extra terrestrials.

No. Its most emphatically not this. Honestly, it isnt. Thats just wrong. Never. No. It cant be. Makes no sense.

I would tell you what its really for, but then I'd have to kill you.

it seems logical - but what if they do more than one of a particular kind of pickup in a day?

You do know someone has to order a BKP just to satisfy the statement that it was made on that day? :P
I'm up for that if I had the money (which I do, just no guitar)

the date thing is correct
all the BKP's I own/owned have a model-date serial number too

That's kind of disappointing. I have a "TM707" and it's a 7 string Mule. I always thought that was deliberate on Tim's part, but I guess not.

We ID them by month, so say VH1008 would mean VHII, 10th month in 2008...:)
