Can we contribute to the year identification list?

[AP515]

The McCarty help thread reminded me of a small issue I have with the year ID list provided by PRS.

[h=1]Year Identification / Serial Numbers[/h] [h=1]Excerpt from The PRS Guitars Book, written by Dave Burrluck[/h] [h=2]Serial Number Year-Code Prefix[/h] All guitars and basses have serial numbers which start with a year prefix. The prefix is the last one or two digits of the production year, and it applies to all models below.
[TABLE="class: year"]
[/TABLE]
[h=2]CE Models[/h] [TABLE="class: year"]
[TR]
[TD="class: top, width: 250"]Approximate Serial Numbers[/TD]
[TD="class: toptwo, width: 36, align: center"]Year [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: oddone"]7 0001 – 0270[/TD]
[TD="class: odd"]1988[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

I know it does say approximate, but in my case this early CE serial number is off by 217 guitars! I have a 1st year CE with the serial number starting with an 8 for the year, then the 7 to designate the CE, and then 0487. I know they didn't keep a lot of records early on, and a lot of this table was done by memory, but is my guitar enough to change this listing? It is pretty clear it is an 88, but I just wonder if PRS is interested in getting more accurate records by using the serial numbers of members guitars.
