Ive tried to reason thru it.. i just can't think of an instance where I'd care if someone had the serial # from one of my guitars.. or anything nefarious that could be done with it.
then again, maybe I'm naive. . and also pretty tired. maybe i'm overthinking.

The only half-believable explanation I've heard is that someone can report it as stolen to the local Police and, perhaps, get it from you that way if you can't document ownership. This seems pretty far-fetched (since if the scheme fails the perpetrator is now on the hook, right?) but I guess is not out of the realm of possibility.
I've sold a couple of Tom Andersons, and always supplied the serial number so folks could go to Tom's website and check on the specs for that specific guitar.
