My aunt was just showing me her Stewart yesterday and I played it a bit, of course. It's a good guitar and plays well. This one has a plain label inside the body with just the model and serial numbers listed, the metal Stewart placard on the headstock and of course the big S on the truss rod cover. No other markings, though. With the history we know about this particular guitar we've been able to date it at around the late 40's which brings about a question in regard to the serial number. It seems to me there are some serious inconsistencies with following numerical order and I'm seeing posts about older 9010's with higher numbers than this one. Does anybody know why?
Stewart Model 9010 serial #0853
