Yep, early-to-mid. Analog and awesome.

I think, cosmetics aside, there are some features of PB's guitar that might make for an appealling model:
1) Jumbo frets
2) Unfinished fretboard
3) Aftermarket brass bridge (does anyone know if PB did this for sustain or less string breakage?)
4) Bass-cut cap (I can't prove this, but I think I'm hearing one on the recordings. Hell, make it switchable like the current 4003)
Maybe a "sticker kit" could be an option, so you could dress it up like whatever era you want.![]()
I guess if an official signature model never happens, then these are some more ideas for those who want to turn their guitars into "tribute" models...

Pickups are stock Hi-Gains. The bridges are brass, and I can’t remember who makes them, but they resemble the “Stars” (“Starz?”) aftermarket stuff from back in the day.
As most folks know, Peter’s Ricks have a .013 gauge set on the six strings, and play like acoustic guitars with small necks!

Source of this: Dewitt Burton while showing me Peter's burgundy 330 which has one of these brass bridges. They're not being produced since the 70s either.
