May be the picture is not good enough but as I see it's 95G954 But the letter for a Rogue is a "Q" and the production begins in 1996, so 96Q.... What do you think about that ?

You could take the rear cover off, and see if the serial number is more clear there.

Epics officially started in 94, but there are a couple of 93 specimen around, with a W serial. manbass7 Junior Username: manbass7 Post Number: 23 Registered: 10-2010 Posted on Friday, April 12, 2013 - 10:59 am:    it's the Rogue shape, I'm waiting the number in the control cavity from the seller.

Doesn't look like there could be 4 after the letter. Maybe a look at the whole thing and I might recognize it. manbass7 Junior Username: manbass7 Post Number: 24 Registered: 10-2010 Posted on Friday, April 12, 2013 - 3:36 pm:    95G9544 Txs for your help Mica mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7966 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, April 12, 2013 - 6:35 pm:    Sorry this is an out-of-order reply to the very patient folks that were waiting for a long time, but I had to solve this mystery. This is called a Rogue body shape on the work order, and the model is an RXB5 (Rogue eXtra long scale Bass 5). The serial number does in fact have a "G" as the identifier originally. I know we had a previous model for Japan that had an "R" as the model code, so I guess we decided to change to a letter we hadn't used before and started using "Q" later. I'm not sure why this Rogue has a "G" in the serial number, but it's legit. manbass7 Junior Username: manbass7 Post Number: 25 Registered: 10-2010 Posted on Friday, April 12, 2013 - 10:41 pm:    Thanks your help Mica Have a nice WE manbass7 Junior Username: manbass7 Post Number: 26 Registered: 10-2010 Posted on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - 7:17 am:    just bought it ! not yet received, next week I hope, it's a long way between Washington and Brussel artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1839 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - 7:27 am:    Congratulations! manbass7 Junior Username: manbass7 Post Number: 27 Registered: 10-2010 Posted on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - 7:17 am:    [url=http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=130417042026539564.jpg][/url] Flamed Koa ? tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1555 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - 8:05 am:    Looks like flamed Walnut to me... cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1450 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - 9:01 am:    And a rather spectacular flamed walnut, at that; nice score.
