Made between 1988 and 1990
Six digit serials in this range are Japanese imports. Transition window: serials 310000 to 334999 read as 1988 to 1990. Basis: Interpolated from anchor instruments; no documented boundaries for 1989 to 1991.
- The Fort Worth stamp left the neck plates when the Model Series ended in 1989, and the sequence drifted through the 3xxxxx range on the Classic, Contemporary, Fusion, and Professional series and the Surfcaster. The Surfcaster registry imagines a barrel of neck plates with employees picking one at random, so serial position correlates only loosely with time.
Keep in Mind
- Japan six digit serials do not encode the year and the bands are approximate; documented instruments straddle the edges.
- Ignore the leading digit year rule published on some decoder sites (a leading 0 read as 1986); it is a garbled Jackson import rule, and real 1986 Charvels such as 227735 lead with 2.
- Part of this band is an estimate interpolated from anchor instruments; no documented boundaries exist for 1989 to 1991.
