A guitar student brought in her father's mandolin the other evening, an A50 that looked like it might have had a couple of hours playing time in its life, with the rest being spent in its hardshell case. She plans to learn to play a few tunes on it, but was also interested in dating it. It had a serial number stamped in ink that began with the letter Y, followed by a four digit number, then a gap followed by two more numbers. I have read about their numbering system at the time in reference to guitar serial numbers, and was wondering if it was similar for mandolins. Any input would be appreciated.
