I've no idea, but looking at the name of the seller could it be that resale, at a profit, was the intention all along, on the assumption that there will always be someone willing to pay over the odds to avoid even just a few months wait? Just speculation... Reverb.com will mask the last name of the seller and add a random element to make it sound like a business, such as "Marks Gear Depot" or "Sue's Music Shop." It allows regular folks to sell things and blend in with everyone else. I think its kinda neat.

Big George Waters wrote: *slightly off topic - but the picture of the bridge in that listing is quite intriguing, in that I'm surprised the individual bridge pieces are not uniform side by side and up against one another - but are angled somewhat - and have a space in the center... is that the design of the Railboard ?? Some of that angle might be the effect of a camera lens being close to the subject. My Railboard's strings are at a little bit of an angle, but not as pronounced as the picture would suggest. And yes, the Railboard was designed with wider string spacing, including a wider space between melody and bass sides, so your eyes aren't deceiving you there. Another off-topic thing: either it was missed in manufacturing, or someone went to pains to Photoshop the serial number off the headstock.

It is located below the dual nut flaps. If you zoom in, this one is # _391

I did look there & it appeared blank - but that was on a tablet! Looking at the same image on my desktop computer I could get 'closer' & yes, _391 it is. _ => 7??

Re: 10-string Railboard on Reverb
My former Railboard also had its serial number on the headstock.

Re: 10-string Railboard on Reverb
Mine was made mid 2019 and it's stamped on the body like the one shown here, so it must have changed earlier than that.
