David Welcome to the club. That seems to be a 1976 serial number, possibly built in November of '76. Please, post pics before everyone starts banging beer bottles. You will come to understand about that, I'm sure (Message edited by lembic76450 on August 22, 2010) |

Hi David, Here's that the file says: top: Walnut body: Mahogany back: Walnut neck: Maple, Purpleheart and Beech scale: 30.75" short fingerboard: Padouk (Vermilion) inlays: mother of pearl originally made for: Rothchild Musical Instruments birthday: November 10, 1976 Sent in for repair in 1981. We made a new string nut for it, set it up, and repaired the customer's F-2B at the same time. |
