SERIALIZATION

The entire production of the Micro-Frets company is less than 3,000 guitars and basses produced. As in the case of production guitars, neck plates with stamped serial numbers were pre-purchased in lots, and then bolted to the guitars during the neck attachment. The serial numbers were utilized by Micro-Frets for warranty work, and the four digit numbers do fall roughly in a usable list. This list should be used for rough approximations only:
Between the company start-up in 1967 and 1969, serial numbers were 1000 to 1300 (around 300 instruments produced). During the transition period, a couple of dozen instruments were produced. From 1969 to 1971, serial numbers 1323 to 3000 (around 1,700 instruments were produced). Finally, in the company's home stretch between 1971 to 1974, serial numbers 3000 to 3670 (roughly 700 instruments were produced).
