Hand crafted guitars from USA by Mark Tatum
"Inspire Guitars Serial Numbers Scheme:
Placement (Back of Head Stock)
All Inspire Serial Numbers Start with:
IG (Stands for Inspire Guitars)
08 (Year Manufactured. First Year for Inspire was 03) Number
(1-4) This denotes model type:
(1 Sonic, 2 Sonic Classic, 3 Tonic, 4 Tonic Classic) then Number
(###) Sequential number of the build of the that model for that
year. So 02 would mean second guitar of that year for that
model.
Example:
IG08202 (would mean Inspire Guitars, 2008, Sonic Classic, Second
Build for the year.)
If PSM is on the neck.
IG08202PSM It means the guitar is a private stock model.
(Private Order) Which is obviously more valuable.
All Sonic's have MT signature on back as well. Luthier's
Initials." [Source: Inspire guitars, email 18/3/2008]
