Changing or adding to a serial number makes no sense to me. In my admittedly limited experience, luthiers who perform conversions of any sort usually indicate that with glued in paper labels or hand written notes on the underside of the top, or don't bother to note it at all. Either that or you could change the neck and the body, and just keep the tuning machines that's a conversion that would work! I guess you could do it with a neck replacement, but you would end up with a ridiculously long scale length and a top that was very under-braced for the tension that such a long scale would produce if it were tuned to standard pitch. It concerns me that the "real pro" this new poster talked with apparently didn't seem to realize that the difference between a 12 fret and a 14 fret is as much in the body, as the neck, and that therefore a conversion makes absolutely no sense.

Otherwise, without pics it is hard to say what you have. If this was the case with your guitar though, it would say "000-28G" on the neck block.
There were precious few 000-28Gs ever made (17 as counted by Longworth, and Matt Umanov currently has one ridiculously clean example of these in his shop) and it would not surprise me to see that some of them were converted.
In that case, the conversion can be accomplished very sucessfully and seamlessly, but would still require the replacement of the top with a top braced for steel strings in order to be structurally stable. THE ONE exception is IF the guitar in question was originally a 000-28G, which had a 14 fret BODY with a 12 fret neck. This would end up putting the bridge in a location that would in all liklihood totally miss the bridge plate beneath, and likely result in drilling through the X brace on either side when drilling for bridge pin holes.
If you put a 14 fret neck on a 12 fret body the biggest problem issue would be bridge placement, as the 14 fret neck (even with the same scale as the original 12 fret neck ) would move the bridge placement closer to the soundhole. And it is not possible to convert a 12 fretter into 14 frets if the 12 fretter has a true 12 fret body.
