Yes its on the bridge plate right above the saddles.

If someone changed out the stock 3 saddle bridge and added the 6 saddle and didnt leave the 3 saddle in the case you will never know the serial # unless you happen to have the COA which also has the serial # on it and date it was made..

.......and if you have the serial number, you can't use that to date the guitar.
