Hi,
I am researching a label from what I think is a mid 1960 ES-335.
I saw on a post that you mentioned a collection of 30 labels.
I only have a poor shot of it right now but it looks like it says "Serial Number" on the label instead of
just "Number". I see the "serial number" on circa 2014 Reissue labels but when I look for vintage examples I only see "Number".
Do you have any thoughts?
Thanks very much
Scott

I asked the question re the ES serial numbers and got an answer from Mat but in a lot of cases this is not correct and so still remains a mystery unfortunately.
