For example, if the serial number is 240000, maybe, it’s either a 1982 or 1992 guitar model. Some manufacturers even indicate the exact date of creation, like 941101. This means the guitar is made on November 11, 1994. But, it’s not always the case with Oscar Schmidt. Still, there are other guitars with serial numbers like 00001 or 00089. Of course, if this is the pattern, then, it could be that the former is older than the latter. But, you’ll never know if this information is correct until you ask the company. The Importance of Knowing the Serial Number You can contact Oscar Schmidt if you want to know what the serial number means. To track when your valuable instrument is lost and to avail of the warranty. Any plastic strings for classical guitar would work though.In most cases, the serial number doesn’t only indicate the manufacturing date, but also a code unique to your instrument. I use Nylgut "Alabastro" strings on mine and they sound and play great, Elderly Instruments has them. The straight across, non-compensated saddle will not play in tune with steel or silk and steel strings. It will be ladder braced and have a bridge plate that is in all likely hood be made from Spruce. This instrument would have been built for gut strings originally. It has the Ebony, flattened pyramid bridge I mentioned. Here is a picture I had handy in my computer from a vintage instrument exhibit we hosted in 07 of my Style 115 Washburn. and there was a lot of parts swapping done at that time. The bridges would typically be Ebony and normally have flattened pyramid wings, this one looks more like one you would see on a Regal made guitar. It's hard to quit make out but it appears to be a style 115 (see bottom of the paper label).
The serial number A3991 would date your guitar to 1907. The paper label in your Washburn was used from 1906/7 - 1915.
