Musky Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Not usually, but I suppose some manufacturers might reserve serial numbers for just one model. It's more usual for serial numbers to be applied to various models across a brand. It's easier to use the serial to tell you what it's not rather than what it is - if something has a 5 digit number it doesn't necessarily make it a pre CBS Fender, whereas an E+ 6 digits will tell you that it's not pre CBS. If you've got any pictures why don't you stick them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
