I saw this at the factory on my visit. It's a beauty.

There are letters and numbers in the pickup routes. What is the meaning?

Given its proximity to my instrument's assignment from late last year, I'd guess 14877 will be this one's serial number.

jzstephan

Yes, that sounds right. But what is the other one? It looks like it could be either JZS or JRS. What it is?

kenbass4

The number is the work order number: they don't get a serial number until they're completed. Only a guess, but the letters might be your initials? (judging by your screen name)

David Houck

I think the initials are the person who carved the body.

jzstephan

Anybody know who did the carving? What are the letters? It's difficult to read in these pictures. Please, any help?

Everyone sees the wings in the buckeye. I've decided they have to be dragon's wings.

The Greek symbol caduceus (two snakes wrapped around a winged staff) is commonly associated with the messenger of the gods. In Roman iconography the caduceus was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves. The caduceus is also a recognized symbol of commerce and negotiation, two realms in which balanced exchange and reciprocity are recognized as ideals. This association is ancient, and consistent from the Classical period to modern times. The caduceus is also used as a symbol representing printing, again by extension of the attributes of Mercury (in this case associated with writing and eloquence).
