Well, I guess the price for Jeff Rath's '68 was right on the money, then, if he is going to get that for a '68. I think I like the '69 better. For some reason, you never see them.

Ditto.

That 69 is Uber desirable.

Ken, what's the story with that 68 S then? It does look like a V series with the horseshoe, pickguard etc...The original M/G,s finishes look more yellowed usually too. Do you have any more pics such under the guard etc??

Nice bass, Ken! Sure has a lovely finish.

Really nice looking instruments Ken, thanks for sharing. Andrew is right it does look like the v series .......

Finishes on both are really nice looking given their ages.
