This newest serial number system used by Epiphone is not yet completely deciphered. The example here shows two Arduinos connected with low-cost RS485 'Electronic Bricks' or 'breakout boards' that use a MAX485 chip. 'F' doesn't refer to 'Fine, Korea' - nor to 'Fuji-gen, Japan' - New 'F' models are made in China. The example Software Sketches below use the Software Serial library that is provided with the Arduino IDE.
