I would like to know how custom ordered masterbuilt instruments serial numbers are assigned. Do they consist of the builder's initials plus some digits? Are the numbers based on the year of build? Are the necks / bodies stamped or labeled with the year of build?

Are the numbers based on the year of build? No, they are based on the MB's serialization system which is sometimes in order or some other system.
Are the necks / bodies stamped or labeled with the year of build? Sometimes.

Either way, we can get you the year.

Thanks Mike for the info.

Sounds like the master builders have a fair bit of liberty in how they do things? Interesting.
