On typical Ibanez serial numbers the first 2 digits will indicate year, or the first digit will indicate the last digit of the year, but there are also some that indicate no year at all. Some models will never be found in the catalogs, that's just the way it is.

There is no master list to correlate to a model number, these are consecutive serialized numbers only.
