MM in CS serial number? a lil help here please

Heyhey..

I'm looking at a CS356, and i'm confused about the serial number markings.. have a look.. what is the secondary serial number below, starting in MM?



That second M looks kinda sloppy.. can anyone shed a little light on this for me? THANKS!

How much is that 356? I know stingers are extremely expensive due to its value as a collector item.

If you have the chance to buy a Stinger, then do it.

LPCollector would be a good dude to PM about it.

The numbers check out...356 Cust Authentic, MM# 15

Without more pics it's hard to say, but serial number-wise o\it looks pretty good!

OH crap!

I'm here.........

How much is this being offered for?.....I promise, I won't buy it out from under you.

The Stinger Series are generally phenomenal guitars........my Stinger R9 is the best guitar I have ever owned.......period.

If you ask me....I'm gonna tell you to buy it.

Thanks, John.. we'll see if the gods are on my side this time..

Hey I see from the Human Decline myspace that you know Rich Hall? I've known him for many years- used to book sunday matinees at CBGBs, where I spent many an afternoon back in the day.. cool cat.
