Late 73, or 74

Still has the ½” space neck p.u, but no grover's, checker binding or MOP inlays,

I think the 1/2" p/u spacing was disc. mid-'75

IIRC, JH posted in one of these threads that he has the last one made...

But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... Image

That looks pretty cool w/ the black pickguard. The pickguard looks 2-ply. There is a white layer underneath the black.

that is an aftermarket pickguard ... that bass could be anything from late 73 to early 80's ...
