Is that because of the neck issue, Wints?

Also, why was the jack moved?

Yes John, that is correct. I couldn't get on with the high action and didn't know how to correct it. I have known better for about 5 years now and still haven't done anything about it!
Shame on me....

It has been put away in the case and resided there since...

It was converted to stereo a la Squire back in the 70's and that is the other out. It still has the original mono output and jackplate in the normal place.

That makes me want a green 4001. Nice Andrew.

On the film "Let's All Make Love in London", made in 1967, you see the Pink Floyd rehearsing. In a camera shot taken down the neck from the headstock of Roger Waters' RM1999, the warping is quite significant.

Could you see the back of the neck Mark?
