Derek - Dating an SR5

Someone has a Stingary 5 with serial number 58449.

Is that a 97-98 era Stingray 5?

 

[jongitarz]

Is that the whole serial #? I can't get anything out of our database with those numbers

Jon, would it help to know that it's a lefty?

 

[jongitarz]

Yep...Lefties will have an "L" in front of the serial number, so i ran that and came up with a lined fretless sunburst DOB 5/5/97
