How is the production date defined?

I was just curious as to whether the production date is set when the final part is attached or whether it's when the final coat is applied, date the build started, etc... What exactly defines our guitars d.o.b?

Date of birth is established when a COMPLETED instrument is processed.

I'm working on it.

Thanks for the info! I always wondered about that.
