Serial Numbers : What is the production date of my guitar?

[5Stringer]

I couldn't resist and bought a Luke LE '05 Buttercream from PM Blues. Serial #G27692

Excellent guitar. Did get a scratch (back upper horn) during shipment due to rough handling. The case pocket is broken, but the guitar is fine. PM Blues is helping me figure out my options about getting the scratch repaired and a new case. Quite a bummer for such an excellent instrument.

Q: I like the standard MM black case much better for transport. The vintage looks cool, but not as practical to me. I noticed that Musician's Friend sells the MM black molded case. Are all the MM black cases the same for the six string guitars? Or, is there specific inner molds for the various models. When I set the Luke inside my SM-Y2D case, there is a little more movement for the guitar. Is this normal? If so, I may order one for my Luke. Thanks in advance!

JP, Philip is correct, there is but one black molded case that fits all six-string Music Man guitars (Part # 5983), however that was not the case (so to speak) for the Limited Editions. Regarding the problem with the shipping, it would be good to have PM Blues file a claim on your behalf with the carrier.

BTW, the completion date of your Buttercream Luke is 3/7/05.
