Prod Year of this Custom SHop R7?

[arebar]

I just bought my first LP - second hand. The seller told med it's a 2001. My own research after receiving it shows that it probably is a 2011 (it has a black COA card). Could someone please help me confirm? It's a darkback. And if I'm right and it's a 2011, would there be any reason to get reverse the deal? I love playing it. No intonation issues, and the sound is excellent. The back of the neck is sanded though for less friction. I would never have done that ... but it doesn't bother me much, and I knew about it in advance. Feels ok.

Recently bougth a 2011 R8. It has the same tuners as yours but the serial number has 6 diditgs.

Might be that yours is from 01.

I also have black Certificate.

This would indeed date to 2011. The black booklet COA's were not used until 2008.
