Fender amp codes-1953-1967 (look for a 2 letter code stamped on the tube chart inside the back of the amp)- the first letter is the year, starting with C, and the second letter signifies the month of manufacture, starting with A . For example an amp stamped NA would have been made in Jan. of 1964. Here is a list of the first letter showing the year of manufacture.
C-'53, D-'54, E-'55, F-'56, G-'57, H-'58, I-'59, J-'60, K-'61, L-'62, M-'63, N-'64, O-'65, P-'66, Q-'67
To find out the year your Martin was made look at the neck block on the inside of your guitar. (This is where the neck joins the body) The serial number should be printed there. Below is a list giving the last number Martin used for each year.
