Doesn't seem that the TRC or pickguard are correct to the SN, eh? Shouldn't it be a split pickguard?

That one, according to the serial number, is April 81.

Nothing special about it, except that it has a black TRC instead of a white one ... so why is The Emperor interested ...?

In '81 the 4003 came with a split pickguard it should be a 4001, unless the p/guard was changed.
