Hey, I recently acquired a Marcus Miller from the original owner. He said he got it during the first or second production year, which means 98-99, I think.

But when I looked up the serial number, the info tells me it was made in Japan in 85-86.

Headstock and everything else looks like an original MIJ Marcus Miller. It plays like one, too. So what's up with the serial number? Any ideas?

BTW, I'm new to the forum. First post.

I'm not a moderator, but the instrument may not have the original neck.

I'd have a talk with the previous owner.

Maybe you could post pics?

On the Artist Series made in Japan, Fender is using a squirly numbering system. I read it as well.

I bought a used Marcus Miller and the numbers dated some time in the mid to late 80's long before Fender even started making the base
