Post Two Unusual Serial Number Formats (BLnnnnn and G0nnnnnA) ...
Anyone know what the story is about these two unusual but apparently valid Serial Number formats?

They are only documented as valid formats in the G&L Registry FAQ.

BLnnnnn format

Here is a list of them from the G&L Registry:

G0nnnnnA format

There are four entries in the G&L Registry and seems to be 1993 build year only?:

G031532A Legacy
G031716A Legacy
G031777A Legacy
G031765A Legacy Special

Anyone know the history behind them?

:ugeek:

Have not seen them before. The top entry for the listed BL S/N seems like a misread BC.

Interesting ... :think:

I asked Dave McLaren about the G0nnnnnA format and he replied:

Hi Craig,

If I remember the story correctly, there were duplicates of some serial numbers in a run of stamped neck plates. The A is likely stamped here in the shop before being sent out to be powder coated. I found a page showing G031797A ASAT Sunburst MP #2 NV (no vibrato) completed on 5/25/93

Thanks, Craig.

Dave
