06-06-06?

[sylvanshine]

Within the next week, guitars with the possibility of a 06-06-06 would ship. I'm sure Tom passed for obvious reasons, but it sure would be a conversation piece.

[sean]

I was going to ask Tom(via the forum) on Tuesday if the finished guitars that day would have the 06-06-06 serial number.
I would guess,no.

[sylvanshine]

The actual date and the serial numbers finished that day are not the same per Tom.

[sean]

I did not know that.
So,the guitars are numbered before they are completed? :confused:

[sylvanshine]

I'm sure Tom will pipe up at some point, but my understanding was that it's not an exact science. For example, there are 3 guitars out there with 09-11-01, but they didn't build on that day. They need more dates than they actually work.

If you do the math it makes sense. TAG builds 800+ guitars a year. Even if they worked 5 days a week for 52 weeks a year that is only 780 guitars.

(52 x 5 = 260 build days x 3 guitar serial numbers per day = 780 guitars)

Now they don't work 52 weeks, or Mondays, so you can see that there are a bunch of serial numbers out there when the shop was dark.

Sorry if I'm bursting anyone's bubble here. It's just math.

There will be 3 guitars with those numbers but they will have an A, N, and P after the number... (am, noon and pm)... I built the P.

Hope they're all red ;)

I've got a black Hollow Classic T with humbuckers that has a shot. Word on the street is that it will be in my hands next week.

[tom]

yes, do the math. the date is asigned when the guitar is going together. as for three 6's, they're just numbers, no room for satan in my life.

AMEN BROTHER!

[nickdahl]

But you have to admit, some twisted devil :eek: will probably track these guitars down! Not me, of course, because the serial number doesn't make it sound better!

I'am waiting for July 7 of next year. :D 07-07-07

[bruce]

Isn't that a jackpot or something???

[andersonguy]

Jeeze..
Enough with the superstitious jibberish. :p

I really would'nt care if my guitar had a 06-06-06 or any other number on it as long as it plays like it should, I'd be happy.

hey dannopelli - is Amen Brother just another Amen Corner tribute band? :D

I realized something the other day. That whole hype about 06-06-06 was about 2000 years late. The date is really 06-06-2006. The actual "date" that people would have had reason to worry about - not that I believe in superstition anyways - would have been June 6th, in the year 6 A.D.

I'm not even sure if the modern calendar was set in place at that point...??

Haha :D

[dave]

and what if you're in australia - would it be 90-90-90?! :confused:

It would be Gooday Mate or at least that is how my son say's it while he is in Sydney :D

[Benny]

I remember when the very first TA body that would have the production number "666" came into being. Being superstitious as I am I asked Tom if we should skip the number. To paraphrase our conversation that day Tom said it's just a number, and with God on our side there was nothing to be afraid of. Amen, Tom.
