...hence her tailpiece was moved to the butt!

Well, that just makes perfect sense!

Jeffrey, don't start talking about her switch, otherwise the administrator will close that thread, as it might become a threat!

Hehe.
Hey, Scott, thanks for posting Jaclyn's picture.
Jeff: No.
Jeffrey: Yes, you're right, but I wouldn't call it a "Sérgio special".

Kevin, that particular 21 fretter used to belong to Ken Swearingen, right?

It would be interesting to see what months these ladies were made.

Ken's naked lady has the tailpiece in the "right" location I guess? Susanna's tailpiece slipped?

Mine, November 1970, Elys Rand's, January 1970. I can't remember the exact month of manufacture of either Peter's or Ken's.

Yes. I looked through my old emails and I believe it was from Sept of 1970. The same as my wife!

Oh baby! Grant's bass is probably the most beautiful I've seen!

I agree.
Here's Graham's late '69 one:

I wish I could find the old thread that went along with Ken's bass. I'm not having any luck doing a search.

And Gene's early (February, I think) 1971 one:

I believe I have a couple photos somewhere of Ken's 21 fretter before and after Dale worked his magic on it.

My lefty is February 1971.

Are 21-fretters THAT different?
