While I lived in Japan I saw a LOT of Suzuki labels, at least 10, in various shapes and colors, some has serials some didn`t, mine have/ had dates on the labels so there is no doubt about those, and I did have one dated 1948 so the guy in the link who says " possibly as early as 1948" has evidently never seen one in person and if the Japanese people, who have access to a lot more data on Japanese guitars have not come up with theories on MIJs then I wonder even more about stuff people on line post as fact and if readers want to believe everything thats written about MIJ guitars on the web, thats fine, but I don`t and stuff I have learned comes from guitars I have owned. I base my opinion on guitars I owned while living in Japan and not on stuff I read on line, there are nearly as many theories on MIJs as there are guitars and the theory postulated at the link sounds like theories about MIJ electrics and in some cases it is very easy dating an MIJ electric by the serial, in other cases, not at all.
