Seen a rather shiny 339 on eBay in the UK, listed as brand new. But the serial number doesn't seem right. It's an ME number, and appears to be etched not stamped, starting with a 3 which would be a 2013 instrument? All the other 2013 339s I've seen are the Custom Shop branded ones, with CS serials.
Is it possible a 339 could have a ME serial and I'm just being overly cautious?
