La Patrie Guitar Serial Numbers

Thanks for the link poorbs. I went to my sent mail and found the serial number. It's serial #40956, which predates the new dating system according to the link you posted, which means it's older than 1993. I knew it was older as the top is pretty banged up, which is what immediately attracted me to the guitar in the first place. It has soo much character to it lookwise. You can tell the previous owner (owners?) really enjoyed playing it as it is worn in quite well. The sides and back are in excellent shape, as well as the neck (I love the width of the neck by the way). As soon as I picked it up and started playing it just felt 'right'. The sound is astonishingly full, woody and warm. As I said, it is listed as model '6' which also predates the current model system. I'm sure the s6 is based on this particular model. From the looks of it I would say it came from the mid to later 80's, which means the guitar has been given a chance to age, and what a nice job it's done. Personally I think it sounds way beyond the price I paid for it....like in another galaxy beyond.

La Patrie Guitar Serial Numbers

The serial number for each year shows the serial number of the last guitar that was built in that year. So, if your serial number is 240121 for example then your Martin guitar was built in 1968. The number is above 230095 so it was built after 1967 but it’s less than 241925 so it was built before the end of 1968 – so it was built in 1968. HI guys, Just joined this blog to see if someone could help me with the serial numbers on my Seagull S-12. I recently found this guitar at an estate sale and went to look up the serial number and cant find one anywhere on the guitar. It does have a rectangular paper label, light blue in color and states the model number but no serial number.
