About 2 weeks ago I purchased a new YAS-82Z and was suprised by the low serial number (15,xxx). Curious, I asked my friend who'd purchased his Z a good year ago what his serial number was and found that it was in the 37,xxx range.

Anyways my questions are, does my low serial number make my saxophone in any way inferior? Is it true that newer model saxophones with lower serial numbers are ultimately not as good as those with higher serial numbers?

I hear that 2-3 years ago they had defective necks on some so I wonder if your older one could be one of those. The one I just had on trial was not even on the 37k range. I thought it was 25k or something.

Thats interesting, because I last week I popped my neck from my YAS-52 on my Z and my intonation problems seemed to clear up... :?
