How can I find out how old my Getzen instrument is?
This all depends on how old the instrument is. The age of any instrument manufactured after 1963 can be easily dated using the serial number. However, instruments produced prior to 1963 cannot be dated. This is because of a devastating fire at the factory which destroyed all of the company’s production records. For these instruments the only option is an educated guess at a possible manufacture date. This guess can usually narrow things down to within a few years.
