But at the same time. Anything can be faked I suppose.
I don't sell guitars, so it's academic for me. (Well, just a couple in 40+ years of playing). I do show serial numbers on amps, though.
Removed serial number = stolen.
Badly typeset serial number = counterfeit.
Serial number absent from metal hardware = neck anchor plate or bridge change.
Later found out that the number was drilled off because it was a factory second. There was also a "Used" stamp on it. There's a company called MIRC that handles them. It wasn't stolen after all!
Tom Anderson has all of his guitars searchable on a database.
It is normal to have a TA guitar listed with a serial number so you can check the spec.
