The best solution is for the guitar manufacturers to provide clear, complete and accurate ser # data on their sites. Their webmasters should also incorporate the necessary meta tagging and keyword page descriptions so that these webpages display in the top search engine results. People searching for serial # info. should easily find the manufacturer's pages as the source for what they're looking for. Good post!

My advice: go to the source! Call the manufacturer and request verification of the serial number. Do not use web-based information. Another alternative is the "BLUE BOOK" for guitars.
