SEC

Hi all, my 85' ES335 Dot has the letters SEC stamped between the serial number and the "made in USA".

 

I've never looked into this and wondered what it referred to.

 

Cheers

I believe that stands for factory second. I've also seen just an S there for the same reason.

Factory Second may not actually mean anything other than a lowered price to move unsold product so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

 

Yep,... I've seen many "seconds", and have never been able to pinpoint exactly what it was that got them "culled". It will however affect the selling price, as it should have when you bought it.
