Help dating a Corona Bluesbird

[Smitch]

I'm good with most of the Westerly serial numbers and have Hans' book, but am kind of lost on the CA production years and numbers.

Im looking at a Corona Bluesbird CM000694. I'd guess 2002, but can anyone confirm production year?

Thanks.

Hello Smitch,

That would be a Bluesbird from 2003.

What's the finish color of that guitar?

Sincerely,

Thanks Hans. As always, your help is appreciated. It's a full black 'Bird (not transparent black) with black back, as opposed to the red wood back of my '99. I'm going to buy it, so I'll post an NGD with pictures. Thanks again. Scott
