The SN in headstock is 77 858 or 857.Looks like have 2 numbers(7 and 8)carved in the same place. I look in the stolen section and other section and dont have any information about this SN. Could you check in your database if have some information about this? If is possible, i want to know what is the wood and the built date. Thanks from Brasil valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 872 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 05, 2006 - 1:18 pm:    Hello Ricardo, the top wood is Schedua; I was pretty sure when I saw the picture, so I though it would be easy to tell which serial number is the real one. When I went to check, however, I found out that 77-857 and 77-858 are built exactly the same, so I don't know which one you have. At any rate here are the specs: Schedua top & back mahogany core maple/purpleheart neck ebony fretboard vermillion peghead veneer brass hardware mother or pearl ovals completed October 1977 (either the 7th or the 20th) That's it Valentino playbootsy Junior Username: playbootsy Post Number: 24 Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 12:15 pm:    Thankīs Val!

However, you can determine the scale length by measuring from the nut to the 12th fret, then multiplying by 2. playbootsy Junior Username: playbootsy Post Number: 25 Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Wednesday, April 12, 2006 - 10:05 am:    Ok.
