Six Digit Serial Numbers Starting with 10xxxx

[Sigmania]

Collecting these oddball examples.

There seem to be two time periods using this serial number scheme?

Some are early spaghetti logo guitars,

101708
102058
102088
103786
103979
104814
106586

HH Breezys Spaghetti Logo 6 Digit Serial 10xxxx

some apparently later script logo & Custom Edition guitars.

106725
107065
107972
108398
109761

Possibly related to the ones with script logo circa 1984/85?

This is very interesting.... The soft case says Rockinn. As in maybe this is a special order? Maybe that explains these serial numbers?

Seller states that is has a six digit serial number starting with 10xxxx.

TOKAI テレキャスター 78〜81年 - ヤフオク!

TOKAI Telecaster type

1970's, early type from 1978-9.
The type of maple fingerboard of this period is not so popular, so it seems to be rare.

The original owner said that he got it in 1979, but in the past I was told that it was probably from 1981, so I checked it.

I found out that the 81st year usually starts with 10 and has 7 digits. But the serial number is 6 digits. There is no proof that the 6-digit number with the first 10 is from 1981, so I will assume it is from 1979 to 1981.

The neck is not warped and the frets are about 70-80%.
The sound was OK, but the connection to the front pickup seems to be a little bad, but other than that, there is no problem and no gully.

It's a fairly heavy body and probably looks like a sen body.
