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). 1992 started the importation of bolt on Professional series MIJ guitars. Jackson only imported neck thru Professional series MIJ guitars (the Pro models) in 19.
