Serial Number: 900789
Tech Notes: Plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. Frets are wide, tall, and have minimal play wear. The appointments of this guitar date it to 1966. These include neck heel shape and size, cutaway contours, small pickguard, absence of volute, absence of "Made In USA" stamp, etc. The serial number dates to 1970-72 but is most likely a factory mistake (something very common and well-documented in this era). The volume pot code is only partially visible, but dates to the 1960's.
