Regards, Jon mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 3834 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, December 12, 2006 - 11:22 am:    Hi Jon, I'll be pulling records today and tomorrow, but you'll need to find the rest of the numbers, there should be 5 digits after the Q. Thanks, Mica horny_toad New Username: horny_toad Post Number: 4 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Tuesday, December 12, 2006 - 12:14 pm:    Hi Mica, Just looked again, and it's stamped "97Q1691 USA" on the brass truss rod cover. I can take a picture of it tonight if you'd like. Thanks Jon horny_toad New Username: horny_toad Post Number: 5 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Tuesday, December 12, 2006 - 12:24 pm:    Mica, As a further follow-up, I just popped the control cavity cover off the back and checked inside. It is clearly stamped "97Q1691 USA". Thanks Jon horny_toad New Username: horny_toad Post Number: 6 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Tuesday, December 12, 2006 - 5:06 pm:    Mica, Just lifted the neck pickup and took a peek. The number there is 9928. Hope that helps.

I'll get you the details tomorrow when I've got the rest of the pending research complete. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 3852 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, December 13, 2006 - 9:30 pm:    I did confirm the serial number from the workorder, but I left this file on my desk.
