My D-35 which Ibought new in 1988 has sound hole sticker which has # 02891 on it just past Westerly. The records on the internet seem to tell me that with the serial number DB104697 it was in fact made in 1982 and not 1986 like I always thought. Guess older is better out of that plant which I read somewhere produced the best ones in that time era? Can someone break down that serial number and tell me the year/month and number produced that year. It took a coke spray by my young son once that left about twenty tiny dimples in the laquer finish mostly near the sound hole. My guess the only fix is a complete sanding and re-spray which Iwould guess would cost me at least $150.00. Can any one tell me if I am right there? Also anyone know its value in todays market even though Iwould never sell it? thanks -nanccinut
