Beneteau guitar dating system
First, Beautiful Beneteau, I have one and can not imagine not having it - they are great Marc is a superb builder.
I had emailed Marc regarding the date of my guitar and below is an edited bit of that email and how to date your Beneteatu. The serial number on mine is 140203

From Marc Beneteau:
My serial # system, which I have been using since the late 1970's is simply the day, month and year that I stamp the block. This is not strictly accurate because I have normally built 5 or even 6 guitars at a time. Because of this I stamp them to read one day apart. If I'm doing this at the end of the month some can spill over into the next month.
Soooooooooo…..140203 means the 14th day of February, 2003. I like this system because it dates the guitar accurately and the numbers never repeat themselves. Perfec!
