Hi Dave,

Here's what I could find out:

Series I MSB4

top and back: Coco Bolo
body core: Mahogany
neck: Maple and Purpleheart, 32" medium scale
fingerboard: Ebony with mother of pearl inlays
originally made for: Rothchild
birthday: August 21, 1978

There is a previous registered owner from TN. In 1999 he said it was in "fabulous condition" and he replaced the 5th fret inlay. The case was also reupholstered with "beautiful red and gold Victorian velvet" inside. There was one ding by the tailpiece in the finish.
