I just purchased my second Strad, laminate top with tortoise-shell pick guard and tailpiece cover, probably pre-War judging by the logo. I've posted pictures to the site. There is a label inside, which is very faded, but my best guess is that it reads 21G2484 or 2162484. Is anybody an expert on the numbering system and can help provide some more info? http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/at...hmentid=148301 http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/at...hmentid=148302 http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/at...hmentid=148303 Richard A.

I've never seen any serial numbers in Strad-O-Lins. The only thing I've ever found was a date stamp on the inside of the back, and not on every instrument.
