For the 03 series, what was the last year of having serial numbers printed on the Larrivee label inside?   Also, what were the approximate timelines of the various 03 body bindings:  black plastic, white plastic and finally the maple that is used today?     My 03 was made in 98-99 timeframe, and has the black plastic body binding, with ivoroid fingerboard binding. 

My 2001 D-03 still had the black plastic binding on it.

I would venture to say that you may have to email Brian at Larrivee to get a definitive answer to all of your questions.
