That serial number format DOES NOT match the one on my 1986 SRE. The dropouts are not 3R either. I do not know why someone would spend this much money to fake something and sell it at that price. However, I have only owned/worked on 4-5 in my life (all mid-1980's). It MIGHT be an earlier model (late 1970's/early 80's) with updated components. 3Rensho was using his own lugs by the 1980's, but I do not know when he started doing this.

Muzi would know if there were other SN sequences.
