Found this on the: Q: Do you have records of the manufacture date of my instrument by its serial number? The best we can do is an approximate guess.

Up until 2011 serial numbers were assigned when the instrument left our shop. Starting in 2011 they are assigned upon factory completion. El Rey guitars are not included in the list. Mandolin Serial Numbers 2007 serial numbers 1050-2450 2008 serial numbers 2451-4050 2009 serial numbers 4151-5600 2010 serial numbers 5601-8150 2011 serial numbers 8151 and above So, it looks like your's is a 2007. Can anyone give me any information about reading Eastman serial numbers?
I recently purchased a used MD504 (which I like very much) and would like to learn whatever I can about it. The serial number, written by hand on the label and visible through the oval hole, is 1103 10214. I could GUESS it was made in March of 2011, but that would only be a wild guess. Does anyone know?
Thanks 1103 = March 2011. 10214 is the model number (which in this case, is the ten thousandth two hundred and fourteenth Eastman strings instrument made). It would of been a 2007 if it was only four last digits but its five. OK, an important refinement on reading the info passed on by Ed. Makes sense, since Eastman's 2007 through 2010 serials appear to be numbers based on instruments manufactured each year. By the time 2011 rolled around, it was more than a simple change of whether the numbers were based on leaving the shop or factory completion -- it was also that volume of instruments produced required moving into 5 digits soon after the end of 2010 production.
