Default How to interpret Composite Acoustic Guitar Serial Number?

There was a post online quite a few years ago to interpret CA's manufacutre date and model. I can't find it now.

This is for an original CA guitar before it was sold to Peavey.

So a few questions:

1. What does series 8 mean?

2. And the serial number is 8L0084##-1. (# are actual numbers but for privacy, I just blanked it out.)

Thanks for any insight.

Hi

This worked for me a few moments ago to narrow down the search:

1. At the search chose “click here to use the forum search instead”

2. At “search in forums”: disable the “search in all open forums, then enable the “carbon fiber” forum

3. At the “keyword”, enter “serial”

4. Press “search now”



Otherwise you might get a response from Ellis Seal who was the CA designer and founder (VP Technology) through the handover to Peavey Inc, and then designed composite guitars at McPherson. He has a resume and info on the LinkedIn.com resume website.

Cheers.

A million thanks to you both.

From the link, I think that this serial number would be Legacy, made in 2008.
