Hi Everyone,

I was hoping to get some advice from the experts! I live in Australia and have been on the look out for a used CU24 for a while..and i finally think I have found one..please see link above

I have one question around the serial number. If I am reading this serial correct it is telling me it was made in 2010...yet I thought the 5 way switch was introduced in 2012? Also the latter number range in the serial number also looks like it is from 2010

I am sure everything is ok but just wanted to check with you guys.

Thanks
Chalkie

I'm definitely no expert when it comes to authenticity of years and models, but I did notice in one of the pictures a Willcutt Guitars (http://willcuttguitars.com) banner. You may want to contact them and see if they have any info on it.

It's definitely legit. Also willcutts is a extremely reputable dealer. I would have no hesitation on this one.

Looks legit to me.

I have an early 2011 Custom 24 and it has the 5 way switch. I think they went to the 5 way a few years before that.
