I do know that Kasuga in Japan have used a K and so have Terada Japan and both of them have made models for well known brands. I don't see how they work that out because it's not in the serials above. Some people think the K Orvilles are from 1996. The only Asian manufacturer that uses a K is the recent KWO factory in Indonesia. The first letter is a factory marker for Asian guitar makers.Ĭort uses C Samick uses S Unsung uses U Peerless uses P etc. Some people have theories about the K standing for Korea but no Korean manufacturer uses K. The first 0 might stand for a year with the rest of the number being a production number (which is what Ibanez Japan was using between 1987 - 1996 for their headstock stickers) in which case the first 0 would have to represent 1990 which is about when the first Orvilles (not the Orvilles by Gibson) were made. The K in these serials has nothing to do with the G, J or A that are sometimes in the usual Orville serial numbers. They don't follow the usual Orville format they just seem to be a K followed by a production number. These are found on the back of the Orville headstock as a sticker. Here are some K serial numbers I've found.
