Hi Kevin. I meant to ask the date of manufacture of Bob's 21 fretter. I know yours was made in January 1971.

As for the toggle switch, it isn't original, let alone the white plastic "bat" on it, of course.

Hi Sergio! That's what I meant. Bob's is a Jan '71. I already asked.

Mine is a Feb '71.
Did you notice Bob's doesn't have the binding strip at the end of the fretboard? They changed that sometime between his and mine.

Uh-oh! My mistake, Kevin.

Yes, Bob's 21 fretter is a fac-simile of mine. Except for the pickups

Mine's got bad *** ones of my own
