Flatiron serial number

[5string]

Just got a Festival-F Flatiron from Dallas Music, with the serial number #00221010. I searched the archives for how to make sense of the number, but couldn't find help.

Is anyone able to decipher this for me? The sticker says Nashville, so I guess it is a later post-Montana model.

Thanks, dave

#00221010

Made on February 21st 2000. 1st one made that day.

These are very nice mandos - same as an F5-G!

thanks for the help, "Pick.." - I'da never figured THAT out! This beauty is so clean that I've got a kleenex under my right forearm, and my left thumb, and saran wrap over the tailpiece.....just don't want to smudge it up!

Thanks, dave

Dave- Try cutting off an old tube sock so you have a 6-7" section and wear it on your right forearm. Keeps the smudges off the top and tailpiece. No need for the kleenex and saran wrap http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
