Hi friends, I have a very nice Martin S-0 made-in-Mexico uke bearing serial number 12,437. Any Martin enthusiasts out there who may have an educated guess as to what year this one might've been made in?
I read this thinking your uke needed to get out more and spend more time with other people. My mind clearly is in a different place.

I have two Martin SO's . Excellent ukuleles . Years ago I asked Martin Customer Service about the serial numbers and was told they dont keep track of the serial numbers so there was no way to attach a date to them . This makes no sense , why put a serial number if you dont keep track.
Anyway , one SO here has a number in the 8 thousands , the other looks older but It's not with me right now so I cant check the number.
I really think these ukes are underrated .
I read martin Guitars started being made in Mexico in 1989. Style 0 were discontinued in 1970 and restarted in Mexico in 1992 I think. A post in a previous thread dating back to 2009 said his S-0 had a serial # in 10,000 was made in 2007. So yours is more than likely, a year or two later.
