Looks like a model 420, probably an early one (pre-1965) because of the metal TRC.

Yes maybe the student model. Some came with a vibrato too I believe.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

From that pic, IMO it's a 1960 425....no later than early 1961 for it has the thicker body.

That's a clean guitar, pretty sweet if it's all original.

Someone should buy that blackface Princeton Reverb Amp sitting behind it!

I see it's in the register. It's made it's way to Maine from Nashville

Nashville? Must have been owned by Jayme.
