serial number not stamped in headstock

Hi,

 

I just received a package containing a beautyful 2014 Lee Ritenour L5 with S/N 12544001 and i am amazed that the number is not printed on the back of the headstock.

The S/N is just printed on the orange label inside the guitar. Is this common procedure now - or how come?

 

Best regards,

Jazznote

Quite possible that this happens on some custom shop models. Don't know if it's standard on all CS guitars, but could be any reason behind it.

My 2009 L-4CES does not have a number on the back of the headstock. As Larry said it is a historically accurate re-issue. Oh yea except for the carved hog back and sides, ebony fingerboard, inlayed bridge base, pearl inlays and L-5 tailpiece. So much for historic accuracy. Still a very nice guitar though.

Thanks John
