Serial Numbers
This serial number chart is based on a chart provided to me by a reader of this website and poster to SOTW, Schorsch, and is supplemented with serial number data from standardized serial number charts found at places like Dr. Rick's Music, Lars Kirsmer's MusicTrader, etc.
Standard serial number charts are missing data provided by Schorsch. Schorsch's additions are in MAROON. Where Schorsch varied from traditional charts, I've used the standardized data.
