Who number's the back of the headstock?

[josh2990]

Does Paul personally label the serial numbers on each guitar?

[Daniel]

When he's not winding the strings.

[JMintzer]

No, someone in finishing does that...

But Paul does wind all the strings...

Yeah, I realize that was probably a dumb question. I figured he did it in the beginning, and maybe still did it to this day.

[JMintzer]

There are no dumb questions. Well, let me back track on that... Yes there are, but your's wasn't one of them...

Here's a related question, how do they choose what color ink to use? I feel like I've seen gold, black and purple.

[JMintzer]

Typically Gold on darker colored backs, Black on lighter colored backs. I don't think I've seen purple...

But sometimes, the cold picks up some of the back stain and changes color, a bit...

Some of the numbers on the early '90's models turned pink after reacting with the finish. Would'a looked better on a Bonni Pink guitar, but looked a bit weird on a dark headstock.

My serial number on my natural back is not jet, "sharpie" black, so I just assumed it was a different color. . I guessed purple.
